“During 2016, Code for Progress served as a fiscal sponsor for DCFemTech, a local organization with related goals, which is not a 501(c)(3) organization. See program service accomplishments for a brief description of the project. The balance of the donations recieved in 2016 was expended in 2017.”

“In 2017, Code for Progress moved to Philadelphia, and working on organizating community, foundation, and government support for the program. Building relationships and partnerships with existing community groups and leaders will help Code for Progress assure continued effectiveness in triaining underrepresented communities to lead successful careers in technology development. Current activities include a revamping of the program, with development ofa new curriculum for shorter, intensive, level-up programming, which began in January 2018. These new programs will be targeted to a specific topic (i.e. data science, machine learning, penetration testing, blockchain) and designed for program participants who already have a fundamental coding knowledge base, and are looking to take a deep dive on the chosen topic. Programs will start with a pre-program assignment, followed by a week of classroom time with multiple instructors who are highly knowledgable on that topic. Capping off the program will be a final project that challenges the program participants to apply the skills they have learned. This will be a collaborative effort, during which the instructors will serve as a resource for the program participants as questions arise.”
