How Silicon Valley schools are trying to boost lower-income students into high-tech jobs


Although many of the schools surrounding Silicon Valley's tech companies are populated by Latino children, less than five percent of the area's tech professionals are Latino. A number of organizations are working to introduce and expose students to the tech giants just miles from where they learn. For instance, Pathways, Exposure, Academic Connection, Knowledge (PEAK) takes students on tours of Google, Facebook, and the offices of other similar companies and coordinates internships for local students over breaks.
