This is amazing! What are your plans to roll out in other cities?

Thx! Would like to learn more about what you're working on. Send us an email info(at)codenow(dot)org

Not familiar with Open System instruction. Is it similar to Open Learning? Our model draws threads from the flipped classroom approach.

Thx! The ecosystem is starting to develop. We have conversations with most of the established orgs in the learn to code space. It's important to attack the problem from multiples angles.

Yes, for one of the projects students work with Arduinos using the dino gem.

When we first started we had an amazing group of volunteers with experience in Ruby. Our focus is project based learning. It's been perfect for this.

Thx! Exactly our goal. Get them excited about learning to code early on so they will stick with it as it becomes more difficult.

We teach Ruby. Students learn about: - variables - notion of different data types (string / integer/ array / hash) - string interpolation - iteration / enumeration - looping - boolean conditionals - defining/invoking methods

That's not our intention. Our focus is to create awareness for these students that becoming a software engineer is an option.

Thx! Excited to have YC's support.
