For students that feel a career in tech is for them, but they are nervous about working a 'regular' job in the tech industry - or who would like to run their own tech business, this pathway will prepare them to learn both the tech aspects of this career path as well as the skills necessary to run their own tech business.
By the end of this Pathway a student could have their own tech business earning real money before they even graduate high school.
