A few weeks ago we held our biggest robotics competition yet, and it was a blast!
A big shoutout to Ranson Middle School for hosting the competition and the many supporters who came to cheer on our students. All the participants had a blast, were challenged, tried and failed, and were celebrated big every step of the way. We are so proud of these kids, and cannot wait to see what next season brings!
We are thrilled to say our CEO, Alyssa Sharpe, has been selected as the inaugural recipient of the Scott Bertram Award from Equitable Foundation!
This award recognizes a Charlotte-based nonprofit leader who exemplifies impact, innovation, collaboration, and inclusion, and is advancing pathways to opportunity and economic mobility in our community. Anyone who knows or works alongside Alyssa knows how she exhibits these skills and traits in everything she does at Digi-Bridge and beyond.
Congratulations, Alyssa! We’re proud to be led by you!
We are still flying high from our Let’s Imagine More breakfast a few weeks ago 💙
That morning was one of joy: Joy in learning. Joy in friendship. Joy in access. Joy in belonging. Joy in believing what’s possible. All of the Digi-Bridge team felt the joy. We hope you did, too.
ICYMI: we announced a big goal that morning. Digi-Bridge aims to serve 5,000 students annually by 2028. We have 14 schools in Charlotte on our waiting list for our STEAMLab after school programming, so we know the need is there.
It’s a lofty goal, but that’s what we’re known for. And we feel renewed and excited after this morning of joy around the work we do. We’re getting to work to not only hit, but exceed this goal. And we’ll keep you posted on the way.
As always, you can support by heading to the link in our bio and learning more about donating or volunteering with Digi-Bridge. No act is too small to when it comes to accessible learning for Charlotte students!
Corporate activations are a fantastic way to break up the summer months with a fun activity for your team.
When you work with Digi-Bridge, we coordinate with your team to ensure your activation makes the most sense for the work you do. Digi-Bridge group volunteer activations allow your team to have fun while doing some good for the community. Think team building, but without the cheesy games or activities no one really wants to participate in.

This week at our annual Imagine More Breakfast, we announced a bold goal: We want to serve 5,000 students in Charlotte annually by 2028.
We have 14 schools on our waitlist for STEAMLab programming, so we know the need is there. We know there are smart, resilient and excited students who want to deep dive into STEAM learning. Additionally, we’re seeing kids age out of our current programming and wish they could continue on past middle school. These students are passionate, and we are doing everything we can to ensure all children in Charlotte have access to free, out of school learning opportunities.
But we need your help.
Donations allow us to keep all of our programming free for kids while also paying for supplies and the teachers who run our STEAMLabs. Donations allow us to reach more students in Charlotte. Donations allow us to bring more exciting opportunities to neighborhoods we haven’t been able to reach before.
Every dollar counts, and we know that firsthand. If you are in a position to give financially, you can help us help students and teachers in our communities. And to us, that’s everything 💙

It’s National Volunteer Month!
We are so grateful to the many folks who volunteer their time with Digi-Bridge so that we can keep STEAM accessible to students in Charlotte. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without all of you!
Interested in learning how you can volunteer with Digi-Bridge? Head to our website to check out different opportunities and to reach out!
Well would you look at that 😉
We are so grateful to every person who supports Digi-Bridge through their donations, engaging with us, volunteering or telling their friends about our work. So if that’s you, thank you! You’re our favorite 💙
We are just a few weeks away from our next Let’s Imagine More Breakfast, and we cannot wait!
We want to take a moment to recognize our incredible sponsors for the event. Without these companies and organizations, an event like this wouldn’t be possible. Thanks to them, all funds raised during the breakfast will go toward our mission!

National Robotics Week seems like the perfect time to invite all of you to support Digi-Bridge students at their robotics competition next weekend!
Each year students from our community and school robotics teams come together to show off the skills they’ve learned and the work they’ve done to family, friends and the community. This year we’ll be at Ranson Middle School on April 18 from 10-1 p.m., and we would love to see the space filled with folks cheering on the kids and letting them know how brilliant they are!
If you’re interested in coming, head to the link in our bio to RSVP!
