“"in 2019 streetcode academy served over 1,500 families from underrepresented communities of color with free, family-centered, culturally-relevant tech education focused on creating the mindset, skills, and access they need to hack (coding), hustle (entrepreneurship) and design (engineering) their futures. Streetcode partnered with community leaders, social influencers, educators, corporations, and foundations to produce impactful content, engaging media, and curriculum to engage new students while continuing to empower the existing student community. Streetcode's 3-60 model of education is designed to level up the tech skills of whole families in ways that are appealing and accessible across age groups. 95% of surveyed streetcode academy alumni gained increased interest and confidence in continuing to learn technology independently. Our programs are designed to introduce disenfranchised communities to technology concepts, work spaces and personal applications in immediately meaningful and fun ways. Our work is possible thanks to the partnership and support of many community and government organizations, as well as many foundations and companies including: peery foundation, give forward foundation, william & flora hewlett foundation, chan zuckerberg initiative, facebook, google, golden state warriors, netflix, intel, orbis and many other anonymous funders."”
