Code4NYC is a student-led organization founded by a group of high school students wanting to make a difference. Recognizing the persistent digital divide and the essential nature of programming skills, we created Code4NYC to serve middle school students who are enthusiastic to learn about programming but may not have the necessary resources to do so.
At Code4NYC, our mission is to empower the next generation of tech leaders by providing free, hands-on coding education to students across New York City that builds confidence, creativity, and real-world skills. We believe that programming is an essential part of a student's toolkit in this revolutionary age of technology.
Code4NYC runs virtual coding programs designed for middle school students across NYC.
Our programs focus on:
- Programming fundamentals
- Hands-on coding projects
- Problem-solving and computational thinking
- Mentorship from student instructors
Classes are interactive and project-based, allowing students to build real applications while learning core programming concepts.
Since its launch in 2024, Code4NYC has:
- Taught 120+ students
- Delivered 1,200+ hours of instruction
- Reached students across 15+ schools in New York City
This GitHub organization hosts projects that support our educational mission, including:
