Code in the Schools

We empower Baltimore City youth to thrive in the 21st century economy by expanding access to quality computer science education and building pathways from school to jobs and higher education. By focusing on youth traditionally under-represented in technology fields, we work to eliminate structural barriers and inequities in education and industry. 

We do this through our many programs. Most programming is with partners around Baltimore such as Baltimore City Public Schools, The Y of Central Maryland, and various community centers. Our programing focuses on teaching Baltimore students to code from Pre-K to high school. We hold annual events to promote a love of computer science like Hour of Code with City Schools, Game Jam, and Code in the City.

Code in the Schools is also the regional partner of Code.org, a global curriculum for coding, and we facilitate regular professional development sessions for teachers throughout the state of Maryland.
