Family Technology Education Initiatives is a family-founded nonprofit dedicated to helping people understand and use modern technology with confidence. We believe technology should be approachable, not intimidating—and that every person, regardless of experience, can learn the skills needed to thrive in today’s digital world.
Our organization grew from a simple idea:
share what we learn, help where we can, and make technology less overwhelming for the average person.
From household devices to emerging STEM disciplines, we focus on clear explanations, hands-on learning, and real-world examples that anyone can follow.
Mission Statement
Family Tech Education Initiative empowers individuals and families to confidently use modern technology by providing accessible education, hands-on support, and community-focused digital literacy resources.
We help people of all ages understand, navigate, and safely engage with the technical world—so they can learn, grow, and stay connected in today’s technology-driven society.
Vision Statement
We envision a community where every person—regardless of age, background, or experience—has the knowledge and confidence to use technology to improve their lives, expand their opportunities, and stay safe.
Our long-term vision is to bridge the technical divide by creating a future where technology empowers everyone—not just the technologically experienced.
Who We Are
Family Technology Education Initiatives is run by a family with a passion for learning, teaching, and exploring new technologies. Our interests span many areas—from everyday digital tools to more specialized disciplines like Model Aviation, robotics, electronics, and general STEM education.
We are not a corporation with a staff of experts.
We are a family who learns by doing, experimenting, troubleshooting, and helping others do the same.
This makes our approach practical, down-to-earth, and focused on what actually works in real life.
What We Teach
We explore and share a wide range of technologies, including:
- Beginner-friendly digital literacy
- Practical how-to guides
- STEM fundamentals
- Safe technology use
- Model Aviation (our first major program)
- Tools, devices, and emerging tech
Some topics are covered at a high level for beginners.
Others include step-by-step guidance, visuals, examples, and links to helpful resources.
As our organization grows, we plan to expand into additional areas that benefit families, seniors, and the general public.
Our Approach
Our educational philosophy is simple:
- Learn continuously
- Teach clearly
- Share openly
- Give credit when it’s due
- Help without judgment
We believe that science, engineering, and math form the backbone of modern technology, and we use these principles—along with real-world experience—to guide our teaching.
Why We Created This Nonprofit
Technology is everywhere, but accessible education is not. Many people feel left behind, confused, or intimidated by the rapid pace of change.
We created Family Technology Education Initiatives so everyday people could learn:
- without fear
- without pressure
- without needing prior experience
- and without feeling “not smart enough”
If we can help someone feel more confident using technology—even in a small way—that’s a success.
Looking Ahead
We are starting small, but we have big hopes for the future. As we grow, we plan to add:
- More structured educational programs
- Community workshops
- Model Aviation demonstrations
- STEM learning activities
- Digital safety classes
- Additional technology disciplines
No matter where this journey takes us, our goal remains the same:
to make technology more accessible for everyone.
