"Thank you so much for creating this opportunity for the kids! My son was hesitant to join at first, but since then, he's loved joining each session!
"When I first saw the poster for this program, I thought it would be really boring, but the classes turned out to be really fun and I even made my own app!" "This class had a lot of girls in it, which made me feel very accepted in comparison to the other coding classes out there" "I was scared for the first session because I had no app development experience, but the teachers taught us everything and I feel much more confident now." |
Our Course
Our program will impact communities nationwide by allowing applicants to register irrespective of the schools they attend, the zip codes they belong to, or any previous coding experience. Sign up for our mailing list here.
