Code Next: Children of Color Need Science Too!

Currently, the tech industry is another industry notoriously dominated by white men and woman. For example, according to Google’s latest diversity report, Google has a staff population inclusive of just 2% Blacks and 3% of Hispanics. These statistics are commensurate with the diverse representation of employees at the average tech company in Silicon Valley. 
​
Realizing the disproportionality within their own company, and connecting that with the 51% of Black students and 47% of Latino students who don’t have access to computer science classes in school, Google decided to officially launch Code Next near the Fruitvale District in OAKLAND! Code Next is a computer science lab designed specifically to offer young Black and Latino students interested in computer science and technology the opportunity to learn more. Through Code Next curriculum, developed in partnership with MIT’s Media Lab, students will be able to learn how to code, participate in hands-on activities and expose themselves to computer language processing in after-school and weekend programs. Code Next will support students through high school and help them get into college. Once they graduate from college, students will have the choice to opt in to the tech industry. The program is FREE to attend, but students must be nominated by their school and/or non-profit organizations like Black Girls Code.
