Powered by Techtonic, our social enterprise, SkillCircuits are interactive, hands-on workshops designed for individuals with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and other neurodiversities to learn and explore the fundamentals of device repair.
Every neurodiverse learner is unique, and SkillCircuits are built to match. Each 2.5-hour workshop is flexible, engaging, exciting, and adaptable to different learning styles. Through this immersive experience, participants gain real-world technical skills, building confidence and igniting curiosity for tech careers in a supportive environment.
