Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders in many disciplines who make a difference globally. Founded in 1636, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.
The official flagship Harvard social media channels are maintained by Harvard Public Affairs and Communications and aim to provide access to the people, places, events, news and research at our Institution. We ask that all visitors to Harvard’s digital spaces be civil to one another and to the site editors.

We ask that you stay on topic when contributing to a discussion and refrain from duplicate posts.
Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs will not be tolerated. The page administrators reserve the right to delete inappropriate or abusive comments and to permanently ban or block users from the Harvard social media accounts.
Founded in 2015 by a 16 year old, we're building the largest community of teenagers around the world who are learning technology by building things they care about and sharing with other people. We serve ~25,000 teenagers in 30+ countries every year.
Here, high school coders make friends, build together, and get inspiration; we try and create the most incredible learning community, tools, and services to support them to go far technically, and also grow personally with positive values.
We do this by creating open-source projects which serve the community like a transparent “bank” for nonprofits, a game console you can only get by building a game for it, a guide to assembly language, a cross-country hackathon on a train. We also support and grows our community by facilitating wholesome social spaces online and in-person.

Diverse and highly-deserving early-career software engineers pair with companies doing their part to sustain Open Source software, including Meta, GitHub, AWS, G-Research, Mathworks, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and more. The independent jurists of the DevRel Awards recognized the MLH Fellowship with the distinction for "Best Developer Education Initiative." Fellow alumni have had their contributions merged into noteworthy Open Source projects and have gone on to work for the most well-regarded software companies. Learn more:

B Corp
MLH has been a community-first, mission-driven organization from the beginning. We measure our success by the number of hackers we empower, and we want to keep it that way. That's why we made it official and became a Certified B Corporation in 2016. B Corps are for-profit enterprises legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their community, not just their shareholders.
