Founded in 2015 by a 16 year old, we're building the largest community of teenagers around the world who are learning technology by building things they care about and sharing with other people. We serve ~25,000 teenagers in 30+ countries every year. Here, high school coders make friends, build together, and get inspiration; we try and create the most incredible learning community, tools, and services to support them to go far technically, and also grow personally with positive values. We do this by creating open-source projects which serve the community like a transparent “bank” for nonprofits, a game console you can only get by building a game for it, a guide to assembly language, a cross-country hackathon on a train. We also support and grows our community by facilitating wholesome social spaces online and in-person.
