Code Together Day

Code Your Dreams (CYD) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making technology education accessible to all. We believe that technology should be built by and for our communities, and we equip students of all ages with the skills and resources to create meaningful tech solutions. Through our free CYD Hub, we provide curriculum, training, and support to help anyone start their own coding club or program—removing barriers to innovation and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to shape the future of technology.
