SkoCode Indigenous Computer Science
 
 
 
We believe providing Indigenous students with hands-on experience in emerging technologies is crucial for preparing them for future leadership roles in their communities. Unfortunately, there are not enough educational pathways for Native youth to meaningfully engage with technology and computer science (CS). Roughly 20% of high schools on reservations offered a foundational computer science class, which we would like to changes. Indigitize is a program that launched under One Generation in partnership with the Tides Center in order to expand access to computer science for Indigenous youth. SkoCode (Let’s Go Code) is the AmeriCorps program within Indigitize that aims to support that goal.
