About The Initiative
Technology is becoming part of childhood earlier than ever. We believe digital education should begin just as early.
Sharani Chebrolu and Ammar co-founded Future Tech For Youth to make technology education engaging, accessible, and relevant for younger students.
Through classroom discussions, games, demonstrations, and collaborative activities, students explore online safety, artificial intelligence, computer science, and technology careers.
As Co-Founder and Director, Sharani leads curriculum development, communication with schools, workshop planning, outreach, website development, and the initiative’s continued expansion.

The Future Tech For Youth workshops have been a fantastic addition to our classroom and an incredibly positive experience for both me and my students. The content was not only informative, but consistently engaging and age-appropriate, keeping students actively involved and eager to participate. The lessons sparked important, thoughtful conversations about staying safe and making responsible choices online. I’ve seen a noticeable shift in their awareness and confidence when navigating digital spaces. It’s clear the program made a lasting impression, and I’m grateful my students had the opportunity to participate. Thank you for creating such an impactful and meaningful program!

My students loved having you all come and teach them. They looked forward to every visit and even discussed later what they learned that day. I had an occasion where a student actually discussed with me on another day something that they had learned about digital safety and how they told their parents about it. I believe that what you all are doing is setting the students up to be very digitally aware! Thanks for everything!
