Check out the highlights below from our students, parents, and alumni to hear their thoughts on Code in the Schools.

  • "I'm so grateful for programs like Code in the Schools because I would never have gotten introduced or fallen in love with the industry like I do now."

    Kamora Adejo, Wellesley College Student, Summer ‘24 CodeWorks Alum

  • "Although both their parents are artists, our boys are passionate about math and science. We listened to what they wanted, and they were never happier than when they came home from here."

    Gary Huck,CodeWorks & Prodigy Parent

  • "When I started Prodigy, I was kinda interested in computers, but it wasn't such a big focus, but now that I've taken it, I would like to incorporate it into a career in Marine Biology."

    Nathaniel King, 9th Grade, Bard High School Early College, Prodigy Program & CodeWorks Alum

  • "Code in the Schools is a place where kids can really be themselves. They get to explore their creativity, show off their projects, and try new things—all with teachers who truly care and make learning feel exciting and fun."

    David Gatewood, Instructor and Code in the Schools Alum

  • "I like CITS because it allows me to learn how to code, which is an interest I have that my class doesn’t have enough time to thoroughly teach. Prodigy Program helps me by not only teaching me one of my favorite hobbies, but the environment I learn in is not as strict as at school so you’re not as stressed as during the school day."

    Ana Basoco, Baltimore Polytechnic Institute Student

  • "It is a privilege to teach this powerful tool to disenfranchised youth of Baltimore City and give them a leg up in any dream or career they choose."

    David Gatewood, Instructor

  • "Code in the Schools gave me a foundation. I hadn't been exposed to much tech before them. Now I am a sophomore Computer Science major at Morgan State University. During the summer, I was an intern through the Facebook University program. Code in the Schools taught me the skills that I needed in order to teach myself how to do things I didn't know how to do."
