About Code.org
Expanding access to computer science and artificial intelligence
Code.org® is a nonprofit working to make computer science(CS) and artificial intelligence (AI) a core part of K–12 education for every student. We offer free curriculum, drive participation among underrepresented groups, and organize the global Hour of Code campaign.
Code.org's Impact
Code.org increases diversity in computer science by reaching students of all backgrounds where they are — at their skill-level, in their schools, and in ways that inspire them to keep learning. The vast majority of the students on Code.org are from student groups historically underrepresented in computer science. Increasing diversity in computer science is foundational to our work.

OUR HISTORY
Where it all started
In 2013, Code.org was launched by twin brothers Hadi and Ali Partovi with a simple video promoting computer science. That video went viral, and thousands of schools reached out for help. Since then, we’ve grown from a scrappy volunteer team into a global nonprofit working to make computer science accessible to every student.
OUR GOAL
Driving change in education
We work to ensure every student can access computer science and AI—regardless of background. From inclusive curriculum and teacher training to partnerships and policy change, we’re reshaping education. Globally, we challenge stereotypes through storytelling, research, and outreach.
OUR SUPPORTERS
Powered by a global community
Our work is made possible by decades of dedication from individuals and organizations who’ve helped build, fund, and champion CS education. We’re deeply grateful to the entire CS education community for fueling this movement and expanding opportunity for students worldwide.
Our guiding principles
Shared values
Our guiding principles shape how we collaborate, advocate, and drive change across the CS education movement.
Unifying approach
We bring together diverse voices and partners around a common vision to expand CS access for every student.
Focus on diversity
We reach students of all backgrounds with learning that meets them where they are—across skill levels, schools, and communities.
Our ongoing commitments
Commitment to free curriculum
All curriculum resources and tutorials we author will forever be free to use and openly licensed under a Creative Commons license, allowing others to make derivative education resources for non-commercial purposes.
Our commitment to accessibility
Code.org believes computer science is foundational for all students and we are committed to equity, access, and opportunity in our organizational values. To achieve this goal, we work to identify and eliminate barriers that prevent the inclusion and full participation of students and educators with disabilities.
Our generous donors
Code.org® is a registered public 501c3 nonprofit, with support from the general public. We are grateful for the generous support we've received from individuals and organizations who support our vision.
Code.org's accomplishments (above) demonstrate our ability to leverage those dollars into strong outcomes. But given our nonprofit ambition that every child in every school should have access to computer science — to become literate citizens in today's digital world and to test their interests in exploring CS further as a career — we have a long way to go to meet a fundraising goal that will support that vision.
