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.

ProjectCSGIRLS
Founded during the summer of 2013, ProjectCSGIRLS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the gender gap in computing and technology. Our unique idea of a technology and computer science competition for middle school girls stemmed from the fact that a large chunk of learning and development occurs during the critical middle school period. In today’s world where technology is becoming increasingly prominent and essential to nearly every field of study, we aim to instill a love for computing and technology in middle school girls. We hope to show them how innovative and creative they can be and encourage them to develop ideas that are powerful, disruptive, and cutting-edge.

About | TEALS
Partnering with teachers and schools
TEALS pairs computer science professionals from across the industry with classroom educators to team-teach CS in high schools throughout the U.S. Started in 2009 by Microsoft employee Kevin Wang, who developed and ran the program in his spare time, TEALS was embraced by Microsoft in 2011 and has been supported by the company ever since as part of its global YouthSpark initiative, which aims to increase access to CS education for all youth around the world.
TEALS helps high schools teach computer science by providing trained volunteers – industry professionals in CS – to partner with a classroom teacher and work as a team to deliver CS education to students who would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn CS in their school.
Over two years, the classroom teacher gradually takes over the responsibilities of teaching the course without volunteer support. The team-teaching and volunteer system of TEALS creates a strong ripple effect: it empowers teachers who can multiply the impact by providing computer science education to hundreds more students over the years.

Infosys Foundation USA – Mission
Infosys Foundation USA is focused on bridging the digital divide in America by supporting high quality computer science education and coding skills with a particular focus on under-represented communities. It aims to give children and young adults the skills they need to become creators, not just consumers, of technology. In pursuit of this mission, in 2015 alone, the Foundation has partnered with many internationally acclaimed non-profits and institutions like Code.org, New York Academy of Sciences, DonorsChoose.org, GirlsWhoCode and the CREATE Lab at Carnegie Mellon University. In addition, Infosys Foundation USA recently committed a million dollars to the Infy Maker Awards to inspire makers across the U.S. to demonstrate creative excellence in making projects with genuine impact.Why Computer Science?Infosys believes in learning for life and that technology and learning can greatly amplify human potential. Every day, we see how computing technology can improve an average person’s ability to be more productive and valuable to the economy. And so, through the Infosys Foundation USA, we are committed to making quality computing education widely and easily accessible to everyone in the communities that we participate in. We want to ensure that lack of resources, exposure, prior skills and STEM proficiency are no longer barriers for individuals seeking to advance their computer programming skills. From enabling computer education in K-12, to supporting research in computer science, and empowering adults with IT training that enhances their employability, we will help catalyze a human revolution.
