About CodeWorks

CodeWorks is a 5-week summer experience where Baltimore City residents between the ages of 14 and 21 get paid to sharpen real-world tech skills through work on projects in collaboration with tech industry professionals.

Operating in partnership with Baltimore City’s YouthWorks Summer Jobs Program, managed by the Mayor's Office of Employment Development, we launched CodeWorks in 2016 in alignment with our mission to empower Baltimore City youth to thrive in the 21st Century economy. We nurture young people’s ability to think both critically, improving their tech skills using industry-standard tools and team roles within various technology tracks and working with tech professionals in the Baltimore Tech ecosystem. 

We’ve offered participants the opportunity to explore Game Development, Web Development, Python, Data Science, Mobile Application Development, Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics.
