How to Help

Make a generous donation

We're working to give every student the opportunity to learn computer science — online and in schools where we’ll establish permanent courses and train teachers. For every dollar you donate, one child will be introduced to computer science.

Add your support

Teach an online course to your child, or in any classroom

Code.org's online platform Code Studio enables students to learn the basic concepts of computer science as early as kindergarten. You don't need any prior experience to get started - you can learn along with your children. If you do know some programming, try App Lab, a JavaScript programming environment for high school students to create apps.
