I’m proud to announce that All Star Code (ASC) has partnered with Chatham University to launch our fourth annual Summer Intensive (SI) for computer science in our first ever expansion city, Pittsburgh. This will be the first time ASC has partnered with an academic institution to host our Summer Intensive program, as previous host partners have been up until this point exclusively corporate.

This past week, members of our team were in Pittsburgh participating in various student recruitment activities, as well as drumming up support from members of the city’s growing tech community. Our team members also had a chance to speak to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette to share more about our plans for our pilot expansion in Pittsburgh. To read the entire story, click here.

Applications for the Summer Intensive program in Pittsburgh are still open . Interested students should visit this link.

Are you interested in supporting All Star Code’s pilot expansion in Pittsburgh? Are you a parent? Student? Potential mentor? Funder? If so, we would love to connect with you! Please reach out to us here and we will be in touch very soon.
