TUIT.Tech is currently seeking partnerships in Northwestern Ontario. If your group shares any of the following ideas, I welcome the opportunity to plan and host an event with you.
"We are all makers."

"The entrepreneurial mind-set is important ...the way that innovation works is one of iteration and building on previous knowledge. I think entrepreneurship provides a wonderful model to get students thinking in that manner."

"We believe that digital skills are tools of empowerment.
The world is changing, and we want Canada to be ready. We’re here to make sure that all Canadians -- particularly women, girls, people with disabilities, Indigenous youth and newcomers -- have access to the knowledge they need to prosper in our digital world."

How Sponsorship Works at TUIT.Tech
Add your sponsorship to an event and we've got a real innovators' party! 100% of your donation goes towards purchasing Innovation Kits. You may assign those kits to any individuals or groups you like or have them distributed in a “First-Come-First-Serve” application pool.
Your name (or the name of your company and logo) is clearly marked on the “Innovation Kit” as a sponsor.
When your group registers for a workshop, they are automatically entered into the “Learn & Earn” program and receive 40% back in TUIT Dollars (no cash value). TUIT Dollars can be used to pay workshop fees or purchase additional components at the TUIT.Tech store.
Example:
Your sponsorship of one Basic Innovation Kit = $90
40% of $90 = $36 TUIT Dollars
That would pay for Arduino 101 Workshop ($30) and leave $6.00 to spend on extra LEDs ...because you can never have too many LEDs!
