Your Contribution
Your donation will help provide free cybersecurity resources, lesson plans, textbooks and experiences to middle and high school teachers and students in Miami focusing on Title I schools. Title I schools have high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families. Early exposure to cybersecurity could motivate students into entering this lucrative field and increase awareness of online safety.  

About Us

Innovation Tech Academy (ITA) is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to education through technology, focusing on the area of cybersecurity. Our main educational program is CyberHoops, funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency through a GenCyber grant, which provides cybersecurity experiences to middle and high-school students in South Florida through an innovative basketball curriculum during the summer. Funds obtained through Give Miami Day would allow ITA to provide these much needed free cybersecurity resources, lesson plans, textbooks and experiences year round to increase equity and assist underrepresented communities.

Why Donate?

  • Cybersecurity education is necessary since we live in a digital society and online safety should be a priority. 

  • Increase minority representation in the workforce since presently only 24% Women, 9% African-American and 4% Hispanic. 

  • Cybersecurity education can be life changing since professional jobs are the fastest growing career field with an average of 31% growth until 2029 and an average starting salary between $90,000.00 to $160,000.00.
