I had the most amazing experience volunteering with CODE. I learned coding, was able to connect with a great network of professionals, and had tons of fun teaching the students.

I didn’t know any coding and was a bit intimidated about teaching. But WOW this experience taught me both coding and amazing teaching practices. Because of CODE I realized my passion for UX/UI design.
