Our Story

Mentoring Youth Through Technology, or MYTT, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and equipping the next generation of innovators. Founded in 2013 by entrepreneur and IT expert Randle Carter, MYTT was created to bridge the gap in STEM education for youth by providing hands-on exposure to technology and mentorship opportunities. With more than 25 years of experience in information technology, Carter has led transformative projects for the city of Chicago’s Department of Aviation, Fortune 500 companies, law firms, medical centers, and educational institutions. Recognizing the challenges many students face in accessing quality STEM education, he founded MYTT to expand opportunities in technology, ensuring that all young minds have the tools, mentorship, and resources needed to pursue careers in STEM.
