ScriptEd equips students in under-resourced schools with the fundamental coding skills and professional experiences that together create access to careers in technology. We bring our tuition-free program directly to schools, where classes are taught by software developers on a volunteer basis. Students apply their new coding skills in paid summer internships, where they work with role models in the field to gain the experience and confidence necessary to pursue careers in technology. Founded in 2012, we currently serve 900 students in 35 high schools in New York City. In 2017, ScriptEd expanded to serve 3 high schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.
