Building Tomorrow's Tech Skills, Right Here in Bountiful

There's a quiet little revolution happening right here in Bountiful—and it starts with curiosity, creativity, and the confidence to build something amazing.

👩‍💻 Meet TaliTech

Founded by Natalia Soto, TaliTech is a local STEM and coding education center helping students of all ages develop real-world technology skills through engaging, hands-on learning. With a degree in Computer Science, a Master's in Instructional Design, and years of teaching experience, Natalia created TaliTech to make technology approachable, exciting, and empowering.

Whether you're a young student writing your first lines of code, a teenager exploring artificial intelligence, or an adult wanting to become more comfortable with today's technology, TaliTech offers personalized instruction in a welcoming environment.

💡 What Makes TaliTech Different?

Learning at TaliTech is all about creating—not just memorizing.

Students work on real projects while learning today's technology using tools like:

• Scratch
• Minecraft Education
• Python
• Gemini Notebook (AI)
• UBKIT Robotics Kits
• Kid-friendly machine learning platforms designed with safety in mind

Classes are intentionally kept small so every student receives personalized guidance from instructors who are active software engineers and technology professionals.

❤️ More Than Coding

Natalia's passion for teaching grew through volunteering with local nonprofits and working directly with students in our community. She saw firsthand that many young people were excited about technology—they simply needed encouragement, practical experience, and someone who believed they could succeed.

Today, TaliTech continues that mission by helping students build confidence, problem-solving skills, creativity, and a love of learning that extends far beyond the computer screen.

Tutoring is available in person in Bountiful or online for $55 per hour.

🤝 Rooted in the Community

As TaliTech continues to grow, Natalia hopes to partner with local families, schools, and organizations to expand access to STEM education, showcase student innovation, and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.

Her vision is simple: create a place where technology feels exciting, accessible, and welcoming for everyone.
