Community

Locally, TechPoint Foundation for Youth spearheaded the Hour of Code effort in nine Indianapolis K-8 schools. From December 3-7, they engaged 239 community volunteers to help 2,313 kids finish their tutorials.

If Indiana tech companies are going to avoid the highly publicized negative trends of homogenized Silicon Valley firms, they are actually going to have to talk about diversity and inclusion. Regular workplace discussions about diversity and inclusion are a necessary part of the solution.

This should be a galvanizing moment for Indianapolis to further the strong collaboration amongst our converged industries, organizations and companies that came together for this bid.

For the second year in a row, TechPoint has partnered with the United Way of Central Indiana to bring to the tech community three special opportunities to get involved and learn about the issues we face as an integral part of the larger community.

A little over a year since TechPoint last covered it, Agile Marketing Indy has evolved into an impressive stakeholder in Indy's tech and marketing communities, thanks in part to several significant but positive changes that occurred in just the last few months.
