ScriptEd


ScriptEd teaches computer programming to students in low-income high schools.

   

What we do

MISSION
ScriptEd immerses low-income students in the technology industry through rigorous web development courses at their schools, engaging field trips to prominent technology firms, and intensive full-time summer internships with our industry partners.

VISION
ScriptEd students have the creativity and potential to be drivers of innovation and technology in the 21st century. Yet, few low-income students have access to the resources and mentorship necessary to pursue a technology career. Not only is Computer Science missing from their high school course offerings, online or private courses are out-of-reach.

We aim to equip students with the fundamental skills and experiences to ensure that they become CREATORS of technology.
