ABOUT US

Black Boys Code is a national organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering Black youth to explore the limitless possibilities in STEM. By providing mentorship, industry exposure, and technical training, we aim to develop the next generation of innovators and creators in the digital age.

At Black Boys Code, we understand that true empowerment goes beyond technical education—it’s about representation, belonging, and opportunity. Every program we deliver is led by Black STEM professionals and students, offering mentorship and role models who reflect the identities and experiences of our participants. For many, this is the first time they’ve encountered educators who look like them, transforming how they see themselves and their potential.

We believe education is the key to unlocking the potential of Black youth, enabling them to become future leaders and powerful voices of change. Our curriculum equips students with cutting-edge skills in fields like artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning, preparing them not just to succeed but to shape the innovation economy. By fostering environments where Black youth feel seen, heard, and empowered, we aim to create a ripple effect of change that transforms lives, communities, and industries

WHY WE MATTER

At Black Boys Code, our significance is clear. There’s an undeniable diversity gap in the computer sciences and related fields, and we’re here to bridge that divide. Through our workshops, we introduce Black boys to Black male industry role models who serve as living proof that success isn’t just a lofty dream; it’s a tangible and attainable reality in the world of computer science and technology. We dismantle barriers and showcase that success in these fields is not the exception, but the norm.
Our educational approach is built on inclusiveness, encouragement, and empowerment. We are in the business of igniting a deep passion for technology in Black boys, inspiring them to dive headfirst into the world of tech.

OUR IMPACT

Through our exposure workshops, hackathons, after-school programs, and summer tech camps, we’ve reached thousands of boys in the Black community and sparked their interest and aptitude for technology. We’re shaping them to become the leaders of tomorrow, instilling them with the confidence to make a lasting impact in the ever-changing world of technology.
