“I think the biggest motivator for me is seeing my friends and my family achieve less than they can, even when they put in more work. I don’t want to see that happen anymore.”

“I've received so much support as a woman and as an immigrant from organizations like CodePath, and from groups of women in computer science in school, that I see how much value there is in that. And I feel badly for the ones who don't get to experience it.”

Software Development Intern, Workday (SITE)
Florida International University

“Since I was just getting started with Computer Science, and just breaking into tech, I was nervous about even getting an internship. I was having doubts because almost everyone is younger than me, but after the internship, I feel more confident. I am able to explain things that I learned to other people, which is something I really enjoyed getting from the program.”

“CodePath opens doors for so many underrepresented students who have the impression that a career in tech is an unattainable goal. I am excited to play a role in helping the organization achieve its ambitious—and crucially important—mission to support a more diverse group of computer science students and software engineers.”

“I am most excited about CodePath's ability to affect real systemic change in the tech industry. As the organization continues to scale, we expect to see unprecedented accountability from tech leaders, as well as transformed hiring and development practices. That paradigm shift will lead to better job outcomes, and more importantly, increased influence and social capital for underrepresented minorities who have been boxes out of tech careers for too long.”

THANK YOU

Elevating Tech Excellence Into The Future

CodePath was founded to address inequities in CS education and the tech industry, and to fill the gaps between CS education and a lasting career. We truly believe that tech excellence can be within reach for anyone, if given the right resources—and the chance to apply them.

We are proud of our work to date, both the tangible—the students we served, the partnerships and connections we forged, and the CS programs we helped supplement—and the intangible—the confidence boosted, the doors opened, and the upward trajectory toward economic mobility.

In addition to our team of entrepreneurial, creative problem solvers, we are endlessly grateful to our loyal partners for their ongoing support of our work, and our vision for the future.
