Talent is everywhere.
opportunity is not.

We teach Arizona students computer science and AI, free, so their zip code doesn't decide their future.

Mission
and
Vision

Coding in Color is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit teaching Phoenix-area students computer science and AI, free, regardless of the school they go to.

Our vision is that every student in Arizona gets a real shot at a computer science or AI education. A kid who learns to code opens a door most of their classmates never get shown: a stable job, real pay, a future that isn't decided by their zip code.

With the volume of computing roles opening over the next decade, we are making sure our students are fluent in computer science and ready to meet that demand.
