Program Timeline

• Tata Consultancy Services recently celebrated 15 years of enhancing STEM education and serving youth through its Go Innovate Together (goIT) initiative

• The program started in Milford, Ohio in 2009, when TCS staff created a summer camp experience to get students interested in computer science and prepare them for careers in the field.

• Today, TCS goIT includes camps, workshops, curricula for classrooms and after-school programs, and competitions for students.

• goIT offers lessons on AI fundamentals, machine learning, and Generative AI (Gen AI).

• TCS helps students make the most of these technologies responsibly by providing training modules to educators so they can encourage students to incorporate AI into the innovation concepts they develop through the goIT program, to help them stay ahead of the curve.

• To date, goIT has reached more than 350,000 students around the world with skill-building opportunities. The program enables students to develop and apply acquired tech knowledge and skills to real-world problems, such as the challenges defined by the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.

Smiles. Big, beaming smiles and the sparkling eyes that accompany them when students present their innovations to judges from the stage. This is the first thing I think about when I hear, "goIT."

TCS' Go Innovate Together (goIT) program is an innovation and career readiness program for students aged 6-17. It's also a smile maker.

Whether they access the program through families, a teacher or a nonprofit's after-school program, students go through the experience joyfully, discovering new perspectives and previously undiscovered talents. Learning as much about the tech world as they do about themselves, students experience pure joy with the program. Their learning processes and innovations may all be different, but their radiant happiness and confidence is always a constant at program culminations, competitions where they "pitch" their ideas for a chance to win feedback, medals, mentoring opportunities and more.
