dae is excited to begin its fifth year as a cutting-edge, tuition-free after-school program designed to empower Connecticut public high school students with advanced training in coding, programming, IoT, cybersecurity, AI, web and video game design, and more. Located in the heart of Downtown New Haven, dae helps teens discover their path, advance their skills, and embark on the next step in college, career, or entrepreneurship, regardless of prior experience.
At dae, students immerse themselves in hands-on lessons led by veteran instructors, engaging in high-tech projects that strengthen skills and enhance future college or job applications. This isn’t regular school: students are working on projects from day one. Students can also enjoy free meals, build a new community of like-minded peers, and develop a comprehensive portfolio of work over a 10-month period.
“Technology continues to evolve, but we believe more importantly so must people. It’s crucial for young minds to be equipped with the toolkits needed to navigate and shape employment and interpersonal landscapes,” said A.M. Bhatt, founder of dae. “dae is dedicated to providing a supportive and innovative environment where students can thrive and build a foundation for their futures as game-changers and responsible global citizens.”
Due to increased charitable and grant support, this year each student will receive a $1,000 stipend upon the successful completion of the 10-month program, further acknowledging their dedication and achievements during their time at dae.
Students in the 9th through 12th grades interested in joining this transformative community may register at https://mydae.co/applyNHV. Classes begin September 24, and run Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:30-6:30pm.
This program is being supported, in whole or in part, by Federal Award Number SLFRP0128, awarded to the State of Connecticut by the United States Department of the Treasury.
