As programming continues to bring the world closer together, virtually everything around us is impacted -healthcare, automotive, agriculture, learning, shopping, communicating, you name it. At Logic Solutions, coding and programming are our passion. We know firsthand how programming can solve a problem, bring people together, and in fact change the world. This is why we strive to hire top talent with fire in their bellies, to help us create cutting edge solutions for our customers.

So we were shocked to learn that less than 2.4% of college students graduate with a degree in computer science, or that 9 out of 10 schools don’t even offer computer classes. In China, every student learns computer science. In the United States, that statistic is only five percent. Click here to learn more.

TerraYebo is a for-profit, socially conscious company with the mantra of “doing well by doing good.” They are especially known for their innovative product, My Inch of the Earth (www.myinchoftheearth.com). My Inch of the Earth serves as a consumer engaging, crowd sourcing platform that allows individuals to claim any virtual inch of the earth, share with the world why that place is important to them, and the money they spend goes towards either preserving that space or benefits a cause the user is passionate about.

My Inch of the Earth also allows people to align their donations with a participating charity of their choosing. Through their contributions, donors can then populate their virtual inch with photos, videos and stories a specific memory or a dedication. These donations help partnering non-profit entities in two ways; the organization receives much needed funding for their cause and increased awareness of the organization’s efforts as users share their inch through their social media and email.
