DigiLabs TechTank · Grades 3–12

Today's students. Tomorrow's tech workforce.

One pipeline from first curiosity to career-ready: coursework aligned to the industry certifications employers hire for, a portfolio of real work, and time with the tech professionals already doing the job.

  • 22 industry certifications mapped
  • 5 stops from first course to first credential
  • 100% on Florida's 2026–27 CAPE funding list
The pipeline

Courses are where it starts, not where it ends.

Every piece is built to move a student one step closer to a real tech job.

From “how does this work?” to “this could be my job.”

Curiosity about technology shows up in every kind of kid. DigiLabs gives it a path: real skills, real credentials, real proof of work and real people in the field.

The road to certification

From curious kid to certified tech pro

Our courses line up with the industry certifications employers hire for, like CompTIA and Cisco. We build the foundation, connect students to proven prep, and they earn the credential at an authorized test center.

Why we built this

Every kid deserves to see how the machine works.

Curiosity about technology shows up everywhere — in every neighborhood, every school, every kind of kid. What isn't everywhere is the chance to act on it: a device you're allowed to open, someone to explain what's inside, a path from “that's interesting” to “that could be my job.”

So we built a course anyone can start. No lab, no expensive kit, no prior experience, no assumption about who's a “tech kid.” A phone or a school Chromebook is enough. Lessons read aloud for students who'd rather listen, a placement check so nobody is bored or lost, and real industry work — teardowns, data security, AI infrastructure, repair and resale — taught in plain language from the first unit.

The goal isn't to turn every student into an engineer. It's to make sure the ones who would love this work find out in time.

The gap we fill

A precursor to certification

The problem: certifications like CompTIA A+ assume 12–18 months of hands-on experience a high school student has no way to get — and the official material is dense and expensive before you know if you even like this work.

What we do: build the vocabulary and the conceptual footing first — hardware, data center operations, how AI runs, data sanitization — so a student steps into help desk, repair or sysadmin work already knowing what the words mean.

Students finish with a digital portfolio of real documented work and a certificate of completion per course. We're not affiliated with CompTIA and don't issue their credentials — we get a student ready to pursue one.

The part nobody can copy

The devices students virtually explore in our courses are the same real, retired enterprise hardware our sister company DigiLabs ITAD processes every day. A curriculum company can't get those. A recycler can't teach them.

Have old tech to recycle or destroy data on? That's handled by DigiLabs ITAD, our certified e-waste and data-destruction arm.
