Mission Bit 8th Gala Fundraiser tickets are now available!

Some of the greatest young minds in tech have yet to be discovered

But a surprising 93% of Bay Area students don’t have the opportunity simply because they lack access to computer science education. Without purposeful action, students from underrepresented groups—especially Black, Latinx, and female students—will continue to be left behind.

We’re here to make sure no talent remains untapped.

We provide students from underrepresented groups every opportunity to learn computer science, discover themselves, and have fun doing it.

Join Bits of Change

Fostering bright minds. Effecting lasting change.

At Mission Bit, we’re on a mission to equip youth from communities of color with 21st-century skills that will help solve important issues in our communities.

We’ve already made a measurable difference: Of the 10,000 students we’ve served, 80% of our alumni are now studying STEM-related fields.

When only 4% of San Francisco public high school students are enrolled in a computer science course, we know there’s more work to do. But we see it as a challenge to be solved. (And like our students, we love a good challenge.)

With your monthly support, we can create Bits of Change for a more diverse tech world, together.
