Meet Anthony, Ericka, and Joccelyn, three young adults from Yuma, Arizona, whose visions for the future are bound up in the world of fixing, coding, programming, and innovating. But without a clear path forward, and unsure of what opportunities exist for them in their small towns, they’re losing momentum.
 They set out on the road to discover how—and where—they can turn their tech interests into fulfilling careers. As they speak with medical professionals and engineers, entrepreneurs and game designers, the roadtrippers realize how many paths are theirs to pursue—and that no matter where they choose to plug in, the important thing is staying connected.

To see what’s possible, they’ll have to expand their horizons—and what they learn might lead them right back to where they’re from.

Where you’re from shapes who you are, but it doesn’t limit what you can do. That’s why we’re sending three young people on a journey to explore outside of where they’ve been—starting with stories of technology in their own hometown of Yuma, then out on the road as they head to the heart of the tech scene in San Francisco. On this trip, made possible in part through support provided by the Cisco Foundation, they’ll talk to people in all kinds of fields, from places big and small, who are doing world-changing things with technology—and they’ll see how much is possible when you look beyond what you know.
