Developing the Next Generation of Tech Leaders

Coded by Kids uses project-based education and mentorship to equip underserved and underrepresented youth with the skills and support needed to succeed in a tech-driven society.

Our Vision: To give every child equal access to the education and mentorship they need to become the leaders in the tech industry.

Our Core Values: We are a community of innovators harnessing the power of technology. Our diversity and inclusivity make us great. Curiosity and creativity are at the foundation of all of our programs.

What We Do: We teach students ages 8 to 18 how to create, not just consume technology. Students leave our classrooms with projects they can show off to family and friends, and a skill set that they can use throughout their lives.
