The C.O.D.E. initiative Foundation

Our non-profit organization, The C.O.D.E. Initiative was founded to Create Opportunities and Define Education. Our mission is to provide quality educational opportunities for all youth, especially youth with learning diversities, neurodiversities, and other exceptionalities.

Our main goal is to introduce youth to coding (programming), and robotics from a young age. By sparking this passion, we hope to introduce them to a highly sought after skill in today’s job market and teach them valuable skills such as problem-solving, which will benefit them in all aspects of life. Coding is becoming the language of the modern world, and we are here to teach it in a fun and accessible way.

We are especially committed to providing affordable and accessible coding workshops to children with diverse learning needs. Often, neurodiverse children struggle to succeed in traditional school systems because most public institutions lack the resources to provide a one-to-one teacher-to-student ratio that many students need. Through our initiative, we aim to motivate kids on the autism spectrum as well as youth with learning differences to pursue post-secondary opportunities by introducing them to an environment that highlights their abilities rather than dwells on aspects of school that they may struggle with.

We have opened up our workshops to all children/youth to give everyone access to high-quality coding workshops that are inclusive. We give priority to neurodivergent students, but we wanted to offer everyone this supplemental learning experience.

We offer a 1:1 student to teacher ratio to accommodate all students with a variety of needs. We are deeply devoted to finding, celebrating, and scaling the strengths of all children, and enabling them with the appropriate tools to build on those strengths!
