Our Story

Providing Guidance and Support to Students from Marginalized Communities to Pursue Careers in Technology

As high school students, ChiCode's founders noticed the disparity between students’ involvement in tech based on their backgrounds and genders. In fact, only 24% of computing jobs are held by women. Recognizing these problems, our founders developed ChiCode to be a medium that introduces technical literacy to marginalized communities, enabling them to achieve success.

ChiCode aims to motivate students to explore the different aspects of technology. By setting up customized tutorials according to experience level, we hope to allow every student to learn at their own pace. Our mentors are motivated to help students learn in any way they feel comfortable through a low student-mentor ratio for more personalized guidance.
