Learn to Code! Free and Low Cost Coding Resources

Learn to Code! Free and Low Cost Coding Resources

By Brittany MaschalJan 12, 2022

Learning to code is not only a must for aspiring computer science majors! It is also very helpful for pre-engineering majors and even business majors. Finally, it’s a very low to no cost extracurricular activity. Get started today with the resources below!

Codecademy

Take your pick of more than a dozen coding languages, including C++, Python, Ruby, SQL, Java, and beyond with the online offerings of Codecademy. Codecademy offers both paid and free courses, so you can customize your learning to meet your needs and your budget. The free membership option lets you access basic courses that feature interactive lessons and daily practice options. You’ll need to upgrade to the pro membership to get beyond the basics, however.

Hack Reactor

Hack Reactor’s online coding bootcamp is the best around, so it’s no surprise that the company’s software engineer free prep program is also incredibly effective for learning Javascript as a beginner. Hack Reactor offers a free, online, self-guided prep course that lets you study at your own pace and work on your own time.

Girls Who Code

2022 Summer Programs teach girls and non-binary students the computer science skills they need to make an impact in their community while preparing for a career in tech. Participants will get exposure to tech jobs, meet women in tech careers, and join a supportive sisterhood of girls in tech. The program is available as a 2-week intensive or as a 6-week self-paced program.

Kode with Klossy

Offers a few programs, including a free two-week summer program for young women and non-binary individuals ages 13 – 18 that will teach you to build real-life apps whether you’ve never written a line of code or you’re a full-fledged hacker.

Events in Tech – Upcoming, Deadlines Soon

By Brittany MaschalOct 30, 2019

From our friends at Upperline Code in NYC:

  • Scribble NYC (November 2): Scribble NYC is a design forum and design-a-thon aimed at teaching middle and high school students about the world of product design.
  • hackMCST (November 9-10): The first 24-hour high school hackathon in the suburbs of Morris County founded by high school students to empower high school students. Students have the opportunities to build apps, video games, network, and expand their skills and grow as developers. No matter what age, skill, interest, everyone is invited.
  • Congressional App Challenge: If you have already developed an app for a previous project, there is a good chance that the app is eligible to be entered into this year’s challenge. Students currently enrolled in middle or high school who reside or attend school in a participating district can submit an app coded in any language on any platform as long as it was completed after November 1st, 2018. With over 300 Members of Congress hosting App Challenges in their local districts, and with each district winner receiving an invitation to be honored at the United States Capitol, there’s no better opportunity for your students to be recognized for their hard work. (Deadline: 11/1/19)
