SESSIONS ON TOPICS LIKE SCRATCH, PYTHON, AI, AND CODE.ORG PATHWAYS PROVIDED PRACTICAL, READY-TO-USE STRATEGIES, WITH PARTICIPANTS REPORTING INCREASED CONFIDENCE AND ENGAGEMENT. WE ALSO WRAPPED UP THE FINAL YEAR OF OUR NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION-FUNDED COACHING FOR EQUITY PROGRAM, WHICH HAS TRAINED OVER 100 EDUCATORS TO IMPLEMENT EQUITABLE COMPUTER SCIENCE PRACTICES.

- CODE SAVVY EXPERIENCE: IN 2025, OUR EXPERIENCE PROGRAMS CONTINUED TO GROW AND REFINE THE BYTE- SIZED CHALLENGE, EXPANDING THE PROGRAM TO BE OFFERED TWICE PER YEAR, ONCE DURING THE SUMMER AND ONCE DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. THIS CHANGE WAS DRIVEN BY PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK AND HELPED FILL CRITICAL SUMMER PROGRAMMING GAPS. WE SERVED OUR LARGEST NUMBER OF EDUCATORS TO DATE, WELCOMING 14 NEW EDUCATORS WHILE CONTINUING TO SUPPORT RETURNING PARTICIPANTS WHO RUN THE CHALLENGE YEAR AFTER YEAR DUE TO HIGH STUDENT ENGAGEMENT. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO REFINE THE CURRICULUM BASED ON EDUCATOR FEEDBACK, ENSURING IT REMAINS ACCESSIBLE, ENGAGING, AND EASY TO IMPLEMENT. IN 2025, ALL FOUR LANGUAGE VERSIONS OF THE CURRICULUM WERE AVAILABLE AND IN ACTIVE USE, OFFERING THE PROGRAM IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, SOMALI, AND HMONG. WE HOSTED OUR FIRST-EVER INNOVATE FOR GOOD HACKATHON, ENGAGING OVER 50 STUDENTS IN A HANDS-ON DAY OF CODING, CREATIVITY, AND COLLABORATION.
