Invest in Soutwest Florida's AI Future

Dendritic grows through partnerships with organizations, donors, and alumni who believe responsible AI should benefit everyone, students, faculty, businesses, and the broader community. Every contribution helps build the infrastructure, staffing, tools, and student opportunities that turn a single year of programming into a lasting regional capability.

Since August 2024, that support has helped Dendritic reach over 500 unique Summer Academy participants, launch 14 AI Tutors for the WCE Learning Hub, and earn recognition as Microsoft TechSpark's only Florida awardee. Your partnership helps us build on that momentum.
