WHAT IS BROTHERS CODE?

Brothers Code is an interactive, in-person event hosted nationwide during Computer Science Education Week. This event is part of the larger Hour of Code initiative in partnership with Kapor Center, focused on introducing people all across the world to the basics of coding education. During the 12th Annual Brothers Code event, held on Saturday, December 14, 2024, young people of color from middle to high school are invited to join us to learn more about the skills and networks that can guide them to exciting opportunities and careers within the technology sector.

Boys and girls of color remain underrepresented in the information technology sector. BROTHERS CODE seeks to expose these young people to coding and tech career pathways that will continue to be in high demand for the foreseeable future.

Our Brothers Code event includes a concurrent program for adults. We invite parents, guardians, teachers, administrators, counselors, champions, and any other interested adults to register and learn how they might support young people to pursue technology pathways.

PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW

Student Programming

Students will practice basic computer programming; explore career opportunities and learn about education pathways that can lead to tech careers; investigate how technology to strengthen communities; and network with enthusiastic tech sector professionals.

All youth participants will have a chance to win an array of fun prizes in our annual end-of-event raffle.

Adult Workshops

Parents, guardians, or student champions will learn how to support young people to pursue technology pathways while also developing their own tech-skills.

PAST BROTHERS CODE HIGHLIGHTS

In 2020, our 8th Annual Brothers Code event was hosted virtually, providing an opportunity for young people and adults of color from around the world to participate. Check out this Case Study to learn how we’ve been using Hopin to make our virtual experiences fun, including interactive workshops, raffles, and more.
