Welcome to The Urban Coders

Our Mission

The purpose of The Urban Coders is to bring coding to the inner city. Up until now resources were not easily accessible for our children in the urban environment. We, at The Urban Coders, are providing these resources and opportunities. Our goal is to remove barriers that prohibit students from freely accessing a high quality and modernized education. We aim to inspire the urban youth (ages 8-12) and to empower them. They will develop the ability to think critically, solve problems, and master skills that can benefit them for the rest of their lives. Ideally students will pursue careers in coding and be at the forefront of this technological revolution.
