CodingwithCulture

Atlanta is the home of cultural innovation, and we are putting our scholars right at the center of it.

We are proud to share that Coding with Culture is officially a community partner of !

For those who don't know, RenderATL is the premier tech-culture conference in the nation, blending high-level software engineering and artificial intelligence education with festival energy. It is a space designed to celebrate and uplift underrepresented talent in tech.

This partnership is a massive win for our village. We do not teach computer science in isolation. By aligning with RenderATL , we show our K-12 students exactly where their computational and design thinking skills can take them.

We are strengthening the K-HBCU pathway, proving that our children are fully capable of moving from local classrooms to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and straight into leadership roles in the tech workforce.

Parents, let's get your children HBCU-ready and career-ready. Register your child for our upcoming virtual academies, local camps, or personal coaching. Visit codingwithculture.com to lock in their spot today.

FROM THE KITCHEN TABLE TO THE YARD, No. 04
When folks talk about AI and robotics, they name the same schools every time. MIT. Stanford. Carnegie Mellon.
Let me put you onto five they're leaving out.
Right now, on Black campuses you might never have heard mentioned in a tech conversation, our students are building the future. Not someday. Today.
North Carolina A&T built the first standalone AI degree in the whole state, and they graduate more Black engineers than anybody in the country.
North Carolina Central partnered with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, to open an AI institute they're calling the first of its kind in the nation.
Morgan State pulled a 9 million dollar grant to lead AI and cybersecurity research for the Navy.
Virginia State became the first HBCU ever to host the biggest robotics championship in the country.
And Florida A&M has students working hands-on with humanoid robots most college kids never get near.
Swipe through all five. Then sit with this.
Nobody told us these stories. We grew up thinking the tech future was being built somewhere else, by somebody else. It's not. It's being built on the Yard.
This is what we mean when we say the pathway runs from your kitchen table to the Yard. It is real, it is open, and it is waiting on our children.
Which one of these surprised you most? Tell me below. And if your child has a dream school, drop it, let's see the list.
Culture first. Code always.
