The TechPrep pilot program exceeded expectations as a resource to build a base of racially and ethnically diverse learners interested in knowing more about STEM opportunities. The most benefited groups were students and parents in underserved communities, where technological opportunities are scarce or not necessarily as visible. Having all the potential resources located in one, easy-to-access modality made it a win for those audiences.

Yardstick cultivated targeted partnerships with key individuals and organizations, offering a custom curriculum that could either be embedded in current programs or act as a stand-alone, depending on audience and event-hosting needs. Furthermore, Yardstick managed the outreach process from creation to implementation and provided D&I strategy support to partners and the TechPrep team.
