Description

Brothers Code

Introducing African American and Latino Young Men to Tech

Technology is everywhere today, but only a tiny fraction of students are learning how to create technology. Brothers Code is part of the larger Hour of Code event that will introduce you to the basics of coding education during National Computer Science Education Week.

Using an online platform (courtesy of CodeHS), Brothers Code will not only introduce you to basic coding, but also provide you with access to a curriculum for continued development. Honoring our commitment to President Obama's My Brother's Keeper initiative, Brothers Code is targeting Black & Latino male youth interested in learning more about tech.

There will be two sessions offered (each limited to 100 students):

  • 10am to 12pm - Middle School Session
  • 12pm to 1pm – Tech Career Panel featuring developers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and more (all students are strongly encouraged to attend!)
  • 1pm to 3pm - High School Session

**Registration is free. Please note that lunch will not be provided.

QUESTIONS: Email brotherscode2014@gmail.com and we will respond within 48 hours.

BROTHERS CODE PARTNERS:

  • The College Bound Brotherhood
  • The Hidden Genius Program
  • Latino Startup Alliance
  • OUSD African American Male Achievement Initiative
  • Devla.bs
  • Qeyno Labs

Just a few important things to keep in mind for the event:

  • Laney College is easily accessible by BART (Lake Merritt Station) and AC Transit.
  • Upon arriving at Laney College, please check in at the Laney Bistro in the E Complex, off of East 8th street. Map below or link here.
  • Registration for the Middle School session will start at 9:00am.
  • Registration for the High School session will start at 11:00pm; high school students are encouraged to arrive early to participate in the Career Panel from 12-1PM.
  • You should arrive having had a full meal as only snacks will be provided. Lunch will not be served.
  • Parents/guardians are welcome to either drop off/pick up their youth or stay on campus.
  • If you are registered and have not arrived by 10am (for middle school) or by 1pm (for high school) your spot will be given to someone on the waiting list, so please don't be late!

We look forward to seeing YOU there!
