Three teachers at MMBDA have launched Code.org® as an after-school project. Ms. Fernandez, Mrs. Guidi, and Ms. Garland received training and certification for sponsoring a Code.org club at MMBDA. Code.org is an independent non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Thir vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. Code.org believes computer science should be part of the core curriculum, alongside other courses such as biology, chemistry or algebra.
Code.org increases diversity in computer science by reaching students of all backgrounds where they are — at their skill-level, in their schools, and in ways that inspire them to keep learning. t our efforts to increase diversity in computer science.
