Coding in Color announced that it will be working with Microsoft TechSpark to foster inclusive economic opportunity, job creation, and innovation in Phoenix, Arizona. Coding in Color has been providing students in marginalized communities the opportunity to learn about computer science, and advocating for computer science courses in high schools.
Coding in Color hosts multiple hackathons, workshops, and other tech related events throughout the year to expose students to the versatility of STEM related jobs. This effort is supported by a Microsoft grant to fund a TechSpark Community Engagement Fellow, who will spearhead local efforts, working with local partners to foster digital access, digital skills, computer science education, and digital transformation. This Fellowship represents the first time TechSpark has worked with Coding in Color in Arizona.
We’re thrilled to put this grant to work in Arizona and expand access to Computer Science education, mentorship and career opportunities for students throughout the Valley. We’re looking forward to collaborating with TechSpark Leaders and Fellows to continue magnifying our impact.
