Our unifying approach

Code.org's global role in the K-12 computer science movement is only possible because we use a unifying approach across diverse and often divided stakeholders. At a time of increasing polarization, the idea of increasing opportunity for students unites people from across the political spectrum. Code.org's team members, students, teachers, and supporters have diverse and diverging viewpoints, and they are all welcome in our mission. Read more about Code.org’s approach to unity.

Our cultural principles

careers_values_text_1

Our students and teachers are our North Star

We use our gifts, time, and energy to bring computer science to those who need it most. This is what unites us. This is our most important principle.

We are hard on problems and kind to each other

We stay focused on the challenge of bringing computer science to students and teachers globally. We recognize that each of us brings the best of our intentions to support our mission and give grace when we make mistakes.

Seek solutions, not consensus

We own decisions, whether taking small steps or big leaps toward the outcomes we are seeking. Owners ask for and listen to, but are not paralyzed by feedback. We accept and support the decisions of owners, even if we disagree.

Adopt a founder’s mentality

We obsess about outcomes and focus our actions on driving them. We dive into the details and work hard. We are honest, lean into agility, and continually assess if we’re on track; we are not afraid to pivot. Changing the world demands it.

Champion innovation

We think big, take risks, and are not afraid to fail. If we see a better way to accomplish our goals, we do it and encourage others to do so too. Incremental solutions won’t help change the world.

Anchor decisions in facts

We use data to understand our business, establish desired outcomes, and guide decision-making. We balance this by recognizing we won’t always have the data we need in order to act.
