Who We Are
Codecraft Works is an educational technology company powering a blended learning approach to computer science, engineering and cybersecurity curriculum for students and educators. We improve the technical skills landscape and successfully narrow the STEAM talent gap for tomorrow by providing valuable computer programming lessons to students and to instructors. Our programs offer young students a comfortable (cyber)space to learn, collaborate and explore new ways to thrive in today’s digital world, and become creators rather than just consumers. Whether they pursue a degree in the computer field or not, our goal is to offer the opportunities for all kids to be better prepared for a future that is already here; where programming is essential to how the world functions.
The Codecraft Philosophy
Through computer science and programming education, Codecraft Works aims to foster future opportunities of young people by providing high-quality programs that protect individuality, build character, foster social connection and instill life-enhancing 21
st-century digital skills.
Additionally, Codecraft Works prioritizes:
- Giving all students the opportunity to learn computer programming.
- Sharing the power of computing in a fun, supportive and interactive environment.
- Empowering future tech entrepreneurs to express their creativity, individuality and problem-solving skills.
- Providing equal opportunities by working with nonprofit organizations to provide scholarships for children without the financial means to participate.
Our Team
Programs at Codecraft Works are led by young adults and college students, often with the help of high school volunteers. We have years of experience with the “near-peer” mentorship model and hire instructors and mentors from top universities in computer science, game development, engineering and cyber security. Our Instructors are both guides who share information and caring friends who provide support in learning challenging STEM material. The connections formed in our programs encourage our students to develop new friends, a valuable sense of belonging, and cultivate positive science identities.
Supported by NSF and America’s Seedfund
The National Science Foundation (NSF), America’s Seed Fund, awards millions of dollars every year on high-risk, high-impact technologies with the goal of fostering innovation and helping to create businesses and jobs in the United States. Codecraft Works is proud to be a recipient of the Small Business Innovation Research Phase II grant. The grant helps commercialize innovative technology by conducting research and development work on access to computer science education and real-world technical problem solving strategies critical to a competitive education in the world market.
“Students have the power, even at a young age, to grasp and learn computer programming. Whether they pursue a degree in the computer field or not, our goal is to offer the opportunities for anyone to be better prepared for a future that is already here; where programming is essential to how the world functions.”
– Shannon Landin, Founder and CEO of Codecraft Works
