Carrie’s Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Jacksonville, Florida. Carrie’s Kids empowers young people to discover their identity, build real-world STEM skills, and access meaningful pathways into technology and engineering careers. Through culturally relevant education, hands-on learning, and community-driven opportunities, we equip students with the confidence, readiness, and industry exposure needed to become the next generation of innovators and leaders.
Coding & STEM Foundations: Students learn the basics of computer science through block coding and Python, building confidence and digital fluency.
Cybersecurity & Digital Defense: Students explore data, digital safety, and ethical cybersecurity practices using SQL/KQL and real-world simulations.
Robotics & Engineering Design: Through LEGO robotics and engineering challenges, students design, build, and test solutions like real engineers.
Creative Technology & Digital Design: Students express themselves through digital art, branding, and visual storytelling using modern design tools.

This summer, Carrie's Kids is taking STEM to the next level. Our goal is simple: get students excited about the endless opportunities waiting for them in the STEM world.
We're partnering with summer camps, fellow nonprofits, for-profit companies, and community events across Jacksonville to deliver three hands-on working sessions each week, where students will master a brand new skill.
This Summer's Focus: Cybersecurity
SQL & Data Mining Essentials Students will learn foundational SQL concepts to sharpen their data mining skills the same tools used by cybersecurity analysts and data professionals every day.
Code Your Own Video Game Students spend the day building their very own video game from the ground up, then team become your own graphic designer exploring the creative side of tech: UI and UX design.
Meet the Experts Throughout the summer, students will hear from and work alongside real-world professionals in tech, engineering, and design because representation matters, and you can't be what you can't see.
