At America On Tech, we want to change what opportunity looks like for young people. We're a national nonprofit organization on a mission to decrease the racial wealth gap in underestimated communities by creating pathways for degrees or careers in technology. I learned how to develop websites using H T M L, css, JavaScript, and butra.
