— Summer Creative Tech Camp ☀️💻

Before school visits… before i3 became a movement…
there was this.
A simple idea: What if we gathered a few young people… and gave them access to creativity + tech?

No long speeches.
Just laptops, internet, guidance… and room to explore.

And wow.
They showed up curious and left confident.

From designing their first websites to exploring digital storytelling,
we watched ideas come alive in real time.
They weren’t just learning new tools
they were discovering new sides of themselves.

That camp?
It reminded us that talent is everywhere
but exposure? That’s the real game-changer.

So when we show up in schools now, it’s not just theory.
We’ve seen what happens when potential meets opportunity.

This is bigger than few weeks.
This is a movement.
And it started right here.

Comfort Tenderfeet College — i3 Campaign Stop 6 📍

Comfort.
That’s the word that came to mind as we walked through the gates.
Not because everything was easy…
but because you could feel it —
this was a school where safety mattered.
Where students were kept within borders.

But sometimes… comfort can become a cage.

The students at Comfort Tenderfeet were brilliant — polite, curious, present.
But when it came to thinking beyond school,
they were a little too settled.

There was a script:
Finish school. Get a job. Maybe do “tech” if it comes your way.
Maybe not.

But here’s the thing
the future won’t wait for maybes.

So we came in to stir the water.
To say,
“You don’t have to abandon your comfort…
but you can’t grow if you stay small.”

We talked about the power of technology —
how it’s not just for coders, but for everyone.
We talked about how the future belongs to those who are willing to learn fast, move smart, and think globally.

And little by little, you could see it…
eyes lighting up,
minds stretching,
walls coming down.

Comfort is good.
But calling is better.
And something tells us
a few giants just woke up quietly in that room.

We’ll be watching.
Because this story? It’s just beginning.🔥

St. Peter’s Unity Secondary School — i3 Campaign Stop 1 📍

We met them on the assembly ground.
Noise. Sun. Movement. Typical day.
Until the mic came on.

We weren’t there to push everyone into tech.
That’s not the goal.
We just came to say:
“Whatever you choose to become… tech will still find you.”

Because tech isn’t just for coders and developers.
It’s for the fashion designers, the architects, the teachers, the creatives.
It’s the future — and if you don’t understand it, you risk being left behind.

Most of the students had never heard that before.
They listened. Asked honest questions. Thought deeply.
And you could tell — something landed.

We left that school with full hearts…
and a quiet fire in our spirits.

Because this is just the beginning.
We’ve seen the hunger.
We know what’s missing.
And let’s just say — we’re building something.

Something big.
Something for them.
And maybe… something for you, too.
