ABOUT

Code Savvy is a new, not-for-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and enabling kids, teens and adults to become code-savvy, that is, to understand the kind of creative thinking that goes into coding, and to try out programming computers and devices.   We are especially keen to bring more diversity -- gender and ethnic diversity -- to the coding profession and to computer science, because creative problem-solving relies on diverse backgrounds and viewpoints.

There are many fantastic organizations and resources dedicated to help people learn to code, so Code Savvy's first priority is to bring some of these to Minnesota, and help them grow.   Current projects include:  

• Technovation Challenge  (high school girls design and code mobile apps) starting fall 2013
• Twin Cities Coder Dojo (free, mentored coding environment for kids 10-16) starting April 2013
• after school code clubs for middle school students  starting 2014
• coding workshops for adult women starting 2014
