- showing them how people invent, develop and influence technology
- showing them how technology connects to what they study
Vision
KnowledgeContext values a relevant and inspiring education for all young
people. Our vision is of students understanding the patterns of technology in
our lives, thereby preparing them to understand, apply, and innovate the
technology of tomorrow.

The decisions and actions of KnowledgeContext are guided by the following
values:
- Our primary mission is to improve technological literacy among school age
children, and all our resources are continually committed to accomplishing

who would benefit from this expression and to structuring their roles to
support that fulfillment.

always exceed the expectations of the communities, the schools, students,
