TheOpenCode Foundation Information

We're a not-for-profit organization that aims to provide students from low-income families the education and resources required to pursue a career in computer science. Here's some of what our students receive at no cost: ACCESS TO RESOURCES All donations go directly to students, allowing us to provide powerful computers, paid subscription services, and internet access to all of our students. We focus on ensuring that each student has an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background. If a student wants to learn how to code, we'll make sure they get that opportunity. ADVANCED CURRICULUM We aim to give low-income or underrepresented students the best computer science education. We not only want our students to have access to coding but get good at it, too! All chapters are taught by industry-leading experts in computer science. We also continually check and certify that our curriculum exceeds the standards used to measure top-performing high school courses. PURSUE PROGRAMMING By the time students have completed our curriculum, they're ready for a college-level computer science course, but our support doesn't end there. For those who show a high level of interest in pursuing computer science, we provide them a computer of their own, connect them to industry-leading professionals, and continue to encourage their coding efforts in any way necessary. By viewing this page, you've demonstrated interest in our mission, and we appreciate that. It's viewers like you who help us reach a vast number of students and provide them with a life-changing experience!
