CodeDay

CodeDay is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides welcoming, hands-on opportunities for under-served students to explore a future in technology and beyond. Its work spans tech education, hands-on technology learning and education innovation, delivered through CodeDay programs and events attended by students. The organisation's stated mission centres on education, equity and innovation, and it describes its purpose as making a tangible impact on under-served students' lives and careers in technology.

The organisation operates on a remote, distributed basis, and describes a supportive remote work environment intended to foster personal and professional growth. Cultural values set out by CodeDay include doing right by the students even when it is hard, innovating from first principles by rethinking education from students' needs backward, learning something new every day and sharing those learnings, and drawing ideas from everyone, including volunteers and CodeDay attendees. The organisation also states that it seeks to fight bureaucracy - keeping decision-making power with those doing the work - be authentic and accessible by solving problems through resourcefulness and human connection rather than money and status, and say yes to fun.

CodeDay operates in the education, non-profit and youth development sectors. Its stated aim for the work is to bring more creativity into tech education and to engage in work that improves outcomes for under-served students entering technology fields.
