Code the Dream’s Newest Cohort

Alejandra Rodriguez · Feb 20, 2018

After a series of information sessions and a record number of interviews held, Code the Dream’s most diverse cohort yet has been selected:

  • The cohort is split nearly 50 / 50 men and women.
  • Our high school applicants came to us from over a dozen schools across the region.
  • Students range in age from 14 – 59.
  • Students from immigrant families have roots in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Nigeria, among other places.

Code the Dream students are hopeful to be the first in their families to attend college or to start their own business. They come from diverse backgrounds, including immigrant families and families trying to get back on their feet. They are hard workers who seek to give back to their communities in a greater way. Every student has unique story that we want to hear more of. As their cohort progresses, our hope is to be able to share bits of their stories with you every couple of weeks. Stay tuned!

For our final question: Based on the ideas we’ve explored today, what ways do you plan to start (or continue) using technology to build a better future for everyone? How will you connect with your neighbors, your local businesses, and your local government? #CTDxTCE

Even with the ability to connect with people all across the world, digital communication still has its drawbacks, as described by @STurkle in her 2012 @TEDTalks entitled "Connected, but alone?" #CTDxTCE ted.com/talks/sherry_t…
