Code for Albania was an incredible experience - I had the opportunity to teach something I love to high school students and, at the same time, deeply immerse myself in a new culture on the other side of the world. For me, this program really re-inspired me and brought me a renewed energy for the design craft that I'll bring back with me into future projects. Truly one of the best ways to share your skillset in an impactful and fun way!

Code for Egypt was an incredible experience and one that I hold close to my heart. It’s such a pleasure teaching these students as well as learning so much from them and the TAs. The hospitality from everyone is something I’ll never forget.

Working with students and showing them all the same things that made me fall in love with computer science has been one of the most fulfilling opportunities I've ever been able to partake in.

This was one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences of my life! I felt very supported before and during the program, and it was so inspiring to meet students from another side of the globe with so much passion for learning. My 2 weeks in Albania felt like a month due to how much I learned about the culture, and how much of a community I found in the program!

I know this sounds cliche, but teaching with Code.X was a transformational experience for me! I taught content that I absolutely loved, made really good friends from a new country, and got to immerse myself in a new local culture for several weeks. I also had the flexibility to expand an already awesome curriculum, focusing on social justice and liberatory design. I would very strongly recommend Code.X to anyone who has no summer plans yet or whose summer plans unexpectedly freed up!

This was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. It was so meaningful and fulfilling to get to meet the students and see their eyes shine up everytime they were given positive feedback. I would definitely recommend the program to anyone interested, and if it would have been possible, I would teach these students every summer from now on.

Code for Palestine was an incredible experience - I had been looking for ways to bring design teaching to high school students and educate on the career opportunities in this industry. With recent events, I was also looking for ways to give back to and help uplift the Palestinian community and this opportunity was the perfect intersection of both. I was blown away by how engaged, excited and talented the students were, and I'm so grateful to have seen them grow so much week after week!

Code.X students kept me on my toes inside and outside our (virtual) classroom. They are committed to learning and growth which makes teaching them all the more meaningful. They're so much fun to work with and get to know - especially during activities where they have a change to let their personalities shine through.

If I could go back to my high school days and find an organization to introduce me to computer programming, I'd be hard-pressed to find one like Code.X. I've never met students that have so much grit, passion, and willingness to learn such an involved skill, despite the fact that English is not their first language.

Code for Albania 2021 was an amazing experience and an opportunity to share your passion for CS with the most amazing students. The challenge of building lecture materials in various formats to interact with the class in it self was a rewarding experience as I learned how to be engaging and knowledgeable for the topics I teach.
