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."
