Helping Students

STTE Foundation is committed to enhancing the regional economy through educational programs, maximizing meaningful partnerships, and embracing family support mechanisms for the next twenty-years.

UNICORN TEENS
Success Through Technology Education (STTE) Foundation, with support from partners, is launching Unicorn Teens, a new Ed Tech app that will focus on uniting the next generation of innovators with entrepreneurial and educational programs aimed at driving startup creation and solving economic challenges. The app features a social media feed, lean business model creation and STTE program information. The app can be downloaded for free on the Google Play and Apple stores.
LAPTOP DONATION INITIATIVE
As a non-profit organization devoted to serving the youth and community of El Paso, we are inspired to help students in this trying time. Since launching, TIES has been broadcasted by local news outlets and received over 1,400 submissions, affirming the fact that students are experiencing digital divide difficulties. STTE intends on enabling students to continue their education remotely as well as remove their families of a financial burden. While the COVID-19 pandemic is challenging the strength of our economy, we kindly ask for your contribution to this initiative. Your support will enable students affected in this trying time to continue their studies from home as well as enhance the regional economy.Â
