OUR HISTORY
Where it all started
In 2013, Code.org was launched by twin brothers Hadi and Ali Partovi with a simple video promoting the idea that everyone should learn 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 AI+CS education 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+AI education. We’re deeply grateful to the entire CS+AI education community for fueling this movement and expanding opportunity for students worldwide.
Outside of the US, our team works closely with more than 100 international partners, helping them expand AI+CS education. We also keep AI+CS education in the international education discourse by partnering with ministries of education from around the world and working with international organizations like the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
