Code/Art is a Miami-based non-profit whose mission is to increase the number of girls studying computer science by delighting and inspiring them with the creative possibilities of computer programming.
Code/Art uses art as an onramp to coding for girls in grades 4-12 in its three key programs: after school CodeHER Clubs, Professional Development for K-12 teachers, and Code/Art Fest, an annual celebration of girls in coding.
At Code/Art, I’ve learned to refine my current coding skills, but I’ve also learned some exciting NEW coding skills, especially in animation! Code/Art has definitely taught me a lot about coding.
For my daughter, Code/Art has been an excellent opportunity to learn about computer programming through art. She has always been very creative, exploratory and visual, so she enjoys very much all the Code/Art workshops learning to “draw and paint” with code. Additionally, Code/Art’s annual event, Code/Art Miami has motivated Sophia to make an extra effort to apply all that she has learned. As parents, my wife and I see Code/Art as an important building block in our girls’ education. We are very glad to have it in our South Florida community!
I had never coded something like this before, and I learned so much when Code/Art visited my school and now I am obsessed with it. Thank you for showing this to me and my school. I really enjoyed it I (I didn’t just do it to get my grades better by the way) I did it because I thought it was interesting.
Code/Art inspires such incredible growth in everyone it touches. I’ve watched tentative students become skilled and confident as they progress through the workshops. I’ve watched complete beginners learn — in one day — to develop their own creative programs. Code/Art has made me a more experienced teacher and computer scientist, and I’ve had the unique opportunity of being able to participate in an enthusiastic and growing group of young coders.
Code/Art is a genius concept that I’m so grateful for! Mixing the creativity of art with computer coding really keeps my daughter Jenna engaged. Even more inspiring are the kindness and great mentoring from the Code/Art instructors.
By opening the doors to the previously male-dominated field of coding, Code/Art inspires our daughters to explore coding, showcase their talents, and pursue careers in this growing industry.
