INTRODUCING YOUTH AND ADULTS OF COLOR TO TECH
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2023 // 8:00AM to 2:00PM (local time)
Brothers Code is an interactive, in-person event hosted on Saturday, December 9, 2023 from 8:00am to 2:00pm in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Detroit, Atlanta, and Chicago during Computer Science Education Week.
These events are part of the larger Hour of Code initiative in partnership with Kapor Center, focused on introducing people all across the world to the basics of coding education. During these 11th Annual Brothers Code events, young people of color from middle to high school are invited to join us to learn more about the skills and networks that can guide them to exciting opportunities and careers within the technology sector.
At Brothers Code, youth participants will:
- Play with technology while practicing coding and programming skills
- Explore the vast range of career opportunities within the tech sector
- Learn about the various pathways that can lead to participation in the tech sector
- Investigate the various ways they can leverage technology to strengthen their communities and reach their goals
- Network with enthusiastic tech sector professionals from a range of backgrounds
Additionally, we will also host a concurrent program for adults. We invite parents, guardians, teachers, administrators, counselors, champions, and any other interested adults to register and learn how they might support young people to pursue technology pathways.
