Code The Block: Free Tech Training For Philly Youth

Code The Block is our signature tech training program. We meet youth where they are — rec centers, mosque basements, afterschool studios — and walk them through the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the basics of AI tooling.

Week one starts with the why. Week eight ends with a portfolio site, a working chatbot, and a one-page resume. Every cohort is paid a stipend. Every graduate gets warm intros to internship partners.

We don't believe in gatekeeping technology. We believe in building the next builders.
