CodeNow is a fast-growing tech non-profit that provides free out-of-school computer programming workshops to underrepresented high school students.. We believe this is essential because it lowers the barriers normally associated with technology by opening the door at an early age when youth are beginning to explore options and opportunities. We have been featured in TechCrunch, Fast Company, VentureBeat, WSJ, and The White House Blog among other publications. Currently we have workshops in New York City, Bay Area, Seattle, and Miami and are in the process of scaling. For additional info, please visit http://codenow.org/about-us/.
