Making the Exception the Norm at CodeNow
CodeNow is building a future where teenage developers, designers, and entrepreneurs are the norm, not the exception.
49% of our alumni are women and 89% of graduates are interested in pursuing a STEM-related major in college.
Why This Matters
Too many young people face obstacles to success caused by poverty, violence, and systemic inequities in education and employment. By giving teens access to software development training, exposure to mentors employed at tech companies, and practical steps to build a career path, we reveal to students a previously unknown and unavailable pathway to a brighter future.
Translation: These kids are already amazing, but adults create barriers for them to succeed. How about we stop blocking their opportunities and give them an chance to save the world?! #🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
At CodeNow, we’re creating an environment where teenagers can learn skills to solve problems they care about.
Don’t believe me? See for yourself.
Tria runs an education startup teaching kids how to code.
Wilfried now works full-time at GitHub.
Megan is learning how to solve problems with tech at Harvard.
Students like Wilfried, Tria, and Megan need our support to help them unlock their potential. Now’s your chance to make a real difference.
