NOLA CODES BLACK

Learn to code during Black History Month.

NOLA CODES BLACK

THE CHALLENGE

This year NOLAvate Black is partnering with Operation Spark to get Black and Brown people coding! The NOLA Codes Black Challenge is all about introducing BIPOC tech explorers to coding in February during Black History Month. Learning to code can open doors to high wage and high demand jobs that can build generational wealth for underresourced and underserved communities. The projects are simple and will only take a few minutes a day. Take a screenshot to share your progress on social using hashtag #nolacodesblack for a chance to win awesome NOLAvate Black swag.
