Cultivating Coders

Cultivating Coders is an innovative and inclusive coding bootcamp that breaks down – and crosses – boundaries…literally. Instead of students coming to us, we take our bootcamp to them. Because greater reach means greater impact. And that’s worth traveling for.Sometimes that means going to parts of rural America that few have heard of. Other times, it means traveling to inner-city neighborhoods overlooked by traditional STEM education. And often, it’s somewhere in between.Wherever the destination, we prime the next generation of coders to help create a better future for themselves and their communities.
