All programs are offered FREE of charge for all students.
From the basics of coding to the complexities of incorporating a startup, our programs equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey.
Cb: Discover workshops give students an introduction to technology, design, and innovation through focused, interactive experiences. Students explore new tools, ideas, and career paths while creating something of their own along the way. Designed to be accessible and engaging, each workshop gives students a chance to try something new and discover where their interests can take them.
Cb: Classroom give students the time and space to build real skills through deeper, hands-on learning. Through 36-hour courses, students explore topics across technology, design, and innovation while developing their skills through projects, practice, and creative problem-solving. Each class is designed to help students build confidence, strengthen their abilities, and take the next step in their tech journey.
Cb: Academy helps students take their skills beyond learning and put them into action. Through experiences like the Innovation League and our internship program, students tackle real challenges, work alongside others, and gain practical experience in areas that interest them. These programs give students opportunities to build confidence, strengthen their skills, and explore what their future in technology and innovation could look like.
Coded by: programs are free for all participants.
We have a variety of programs, from classes to competitions and internships, that overall serve ages from 8 to 22. Many of our beginner level programs and workshops serve our younger students, while internships focus on students ages 16-22. Please check each program for specific age requirements.
While our focus is on providing support to students in Philadelphia, you do not need to be a resident of Philadelphia to participate. But as most of our programming is in-person or hybrid, students will need to be in the Philadelphia area.
While each program is different, most Coded by: programs do not require previous experience to participate.
Most of our programs are held in our offices. If you are interested in hosting a Coded by: program at your school, rec center, or another location, please contact programs@codedbykids.com.
“My time at Coded by: has shown me that growth often comes from venturing into the unknown, and that with a positive mindset and the support of others, it’s possible to turn uncertainty into something truly rewarding.”
"I’m thankful for the skills I’ve acquired, the people I’ve met, and the insights I’ve gained into what it means to be a designer and a collaborator."
“I think it's really fantastic that so many volunteers from different companies, different roles get to come in and talk about different careers in tech.”
"[Cb:] gives a unique perspective into the business and management of building a website rather than just the technical side. And it's something that I feel has been very unique through this program that I haven't gotten by just programming on my own."
