Creating project and student-centered programs that enable students to be the change-makers we know they are.
Students participate in Design Thinking workshops to identify a relevant problem in their community and come up with a technological solution.
Students learn the essentials of User Interface and User Experience (UI/UX) Design, as well as user research, in order to wireframe and prototype their applications.
Students are introduced to coding in an intuitive and experiential manner in order to code their applications into a reality.
Students learn communication and presentations skills, as well as marketing and branding, in order to pitch their applications during the final showcase.
"I’m Brianne Caplan, Founder and Executive Director of Code Your Dreams. My career started as a data scientist, where I witnessed firsthand both the power of technology and the persistent gaps in who has access to it. After earning my degree from the University of Chicago, I later returned as Program Director for Careers in Computer Science, working to expand pathways into tech for students across disciplines. I founded Code Your Dreams to ensure that everyone has the confidence, skills, and community support to not only participate in technology, but to shape it."
