What Tech Kids Unlimited does

Tech Kids Unlimited, doing business as Tech Unlimited, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2009 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. It designs and delivers technology, computer science, and social-emotional learning programs for neurodiverse youth and young adults ages 10 to 24, including students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, dyslexia, anxiety, OCD, and executive functioning challenges. Programs are built around a 4:1 counselor-to-student ratio with lead tech teachers, assistant teachers, and social workers in every classroom.

The organization's core offerings fall into two product lines: Tech Knowledge Workshops (Sunday Workshops, Digital Empowerment, Tech Socials, Family Sundays, Creativity Club, Hackathons, Summer Weeklong Workshops, and Parent Talks) for ages 10-15, and Career Ladder Programs (Digital Agency, Creative Tech Internship, Level Up Tech, College Access Program, and CRISP Internship) for ages 16-24. A Student Exhibition showcase and a Financial Assistance / Government Services offering round out the portfolio. Programming is delivered both virtually and in-person, with in-person workshops hosted on the NYU Tandon School of Engineering campus in Brooklyn through a partnership with The Ability Project. The organization claims to serve more than 500 students annually.

The business model combines three revenue streams: per-program tuition and bundled fees (such as the 5-Week Summer In-Person Bundle and 3-Week Virtual Bundle), charitable donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations, and government services / voucher-based support. Multi-session programs are non-refundable while single-session programs can be exchanged, and need-based financial aid is available to ensure no student is turned away. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on direct website enrollment, educator and school referrals (including NYC Department of Education 12:1:1 and 8:1:1 special education classrooms), newsletter marketing, and public exhibitions such as the "Two Friends" student showcase. Leadership consists of Founder & Director Beth Rosenberg and Co-President of the Board Stephanie Borgman.
