"If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together." That proverb has guided every step of this journey, and it's proof in our proudest achievement, generational change.

30 years ago, TAF's mission started simple, bring technology to communities of color. Since then, that mission has grown into something much bigger. None of it would be possible without the families, donors, partners, and community members who've stood with us through every shift, challenge, and season.

Our annual Report Card is here, and we couldn't be prouder to share it! 🎉
This year's stories carry a theme close to our hearts, teaching was never meant to be done alone.

▪️The 2026 Report Card is packed with moments worth celebrating, like:
Students turning a salmon life cycle project into a call for environmental advocacy
▪️Brigadoon Elementary students growing plants that now live in the TAF@Saghalie garden
▪️Stanton Academy students leading a full courtyard remodel, from fundraising to planting

As we mark 30 years of this work, we're beyond grateful for the families, donors, and partners who've made every one of these stories possible. Explore the full report card: techaccess.org/2026-report-card.

On Friday, we celebrated the end of summer with a mural unveiling at Bethaday Community Learning Space in partnership with Urban ArtWorks.

The mural was created by youth artists in Urban ArtWorks' Mural Apprentice Program (MAP). Guests got to see the space transformed and connect with the young artists behind the work.

A big thank you to Urban ArtWorks and everyone who joined us! Come check it out next time you visit the TAF offices, and remember all rentals and events at Bethaday Community Learning Space support TAF programs and partner schools!

Summer Institute is a wrap! Last week, teachers from our partner schools gathered to plan their curriculum for the year alongside TAF transformation coaches.

Teachers learn from each other across schools, swapping lessons and ideas. Held this year at TAF's home office, , our staff got a front row seat to see what our teachers are building for the year ahead.

Thanks to Tess Upchurch (TAF@Saghalie) and Melani Summerfield (Roosevelt Elementary) for sharing their experience at the Summer Institute and what’s next for the school year.

New on the TAF blog!

This summer's JumpStart program had students holding a ball python named Cole at the Bug and Reptile Museum, reading to therapy dogs, and learning how natural dyes come from plants at Oxbow Farms. At the end of the program, they showed off their experiences to families at a final Presentation of Learning.

We've loved sharing moments from JumpStart this summer, and we're excited to keep the stories coming as these students head into their first year of project-based learning at TAF@Saghalie. Read the full story here: tinyurl.com/TAFBlogStartingStrong
