The Raccoons is an online community that empowers students who are eager to learn by providing an environment for them to explore, learn, build, and create. With the sudden changes our world is facing, now it is more important than ever to facilitate a general knowledge of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) skills, as those are increasingly important to almost all fields.

​

The Raccoons team has decided to bring an online experience aimed at youngsters with any level of experience and tries to foster an environment for curiosity towards tech and exploration by organizing workshops around STEM and technology sector, hosting hackathons, and providing online content to learn more about the variety of tech fields.

We are a student organization with a keen interest in the latest technology and science.
