Through a global chapter model, TechPower4All has empowered over 1,500 students across seven countries, with chapters across the US, UK, India, Canada, Australia, and the Caribbean. Recognized with the NCWIT Impact Award, Discover National Innovation Award, and featured on Forbes' 2023 Teen Changemakers list.
