Code the Dream‘s innovative model is a win-win: Students from diverse backgrounds build real apps to launch their tech careers, and our communities benefit from the tools they develop.

Classes

Code the Dream provides free training in software development followed by the opportunity to apply for a paid internship, during which students create mobile and web technologies for a wide range of nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies.

Learn more and apply online.

 

 

Code the Dream creates a path to a life-changing career in tech for young people from diverse and low-resourced  communities. 80% of our interns land tech jobs in places like IBM, Duke, Cisco, & Lenovo or gain significant college scholarships.

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…

I'm sure many of us have stories about building relationships over the Internet, whether it be through dating apps, gaming communities, activist groups, etc. Tell us about a connection you made using technology that you could not have made without it. #CTExTCE
