#coding5k kick-off

Today, SJ proudly launched the Coding5K Challenge to inspire at least 5000 kids – especially those of our lowest-income communities – to grow up tech-enabled, rather than tech-controlled, & compete in the 21st century economy. Learn how you can volunteer: https://t.co/tpkzQVVuJu

Excited to be here with Mayor @sliccardo and our very own @AlysaCisneros talking about Digital Inclusion, @SJPLF and #Coding5K!

All of today’s coding classes fall under our #Coding5K initiative—where we’ve already helped 4000+ kids learn to code. We’re grateful to critical partners —like @SVLeadershipGrp, @KLATencorcorp, + others who’ve helped sponsor these efforts.

Proud to join Mayor @sliccardo and @jillavisbourne, head librarian for @sanjoselibrary, to launch #Coding5k today! Giving #SiliconValley students the tools needed to succeed in the innovation economy. https://t.co/gotkauf7Xq

Congrats to @sanjoselibrary for launching #coding5k. @SVLeadershipGrp @svchildrensfund

Props to @sanjoselibrary for launching #coding5k to bring the power and pleasure of #coding to #SanJose community! 👏

Look at all the coding languages taught last year thru Coding5K! This program expanded to all 25 branches last year and has reached over 6,000 students since its launch in February 2018.

Thanks to the generosity of #AlaskaAirlines, we were able to offer and successfully conclude our first-ever Summer Coding Camps. #Coding5k #RightToLibrary #SJPl https://t.co/QDLhvKYQsV

Happy Computer Science Education Week! Did you know Moreland offers computer science & coding in a variety of forms? From @PLTWorg to @sanjoselibrary #Coding5K elementary classes to STEAM lab enrichment, Moreland students are thriving! #MorelandMoments

The Coding5K Challenge provides equitable educational access to students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn and grow in these key fields of study, enabling more of our community to participate in the industry that has made Silicon Valley thrive.

The launch 🚀 event for our new initiative, #Coding5K Challenge was a success! We thank @samliccardo, @SVLeadershipGrp, #FischerMiddleSchool, #HillviewBranchLibrary staff and all of our partners and supporters. https://t.co/HJVJIlQ2y4 #SJPL #RightToLibrary #CodeOn

Coding with the Mayor! It was great watching students & @sliccardo use @WonderWorkshop’s DASH robots to conquer a maze. Just another #Coding5K program brought to you by your awesome librarians at the @sanjoselibrary 🙌🏽 For free coding programs, visit https://t.co/m5f3ZitVIS
