About Us
The Hidden Genius Project, an award-winning nonprofit that mentors and invests in Black youth, is expanding to Atlanta after receiving a $3 million grant from Google.org, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The project, which has sites in Chicago, Los Angeles, Richmond, Detroit, and Oakland, aims to teach high school students how to create innovative solutions to community problems and how to design their own websites, software, and other technical projects.
"Over the past decade, we have been honored to engage young people across the globe to inspire them to leverage technology to reveal their genius, and we have seen some tremendous results," Brandon Nicholson, executive director of the Hidden Genius Project, says in a statement.
"There is nothing of consequence that we have ever accomplished alone, and this growth moment will be no different."
The Atlanta Intensive Immersion Program will offer high school students 15 months of intensive technical and entrepreneurial training through two, seven-week summer sessions and one year of after-school programming.
The first cohort will see its first session in June 2023.
