Real numbers. Real change.
Every student we reach is one step closer to a career in tech.
Student Voices
From our students
Having a glimpse of the programming world and working with professionals is a really outstanding and rare experience for me as a high school junior. I’ll treasure it for the day I walk on the same career path.
I have learned so many things in such a short amount of time. Having the opportunity to work at a renowned company was due to ScriptEd and their connections. It really opened a new world for me.
Yes, I am a girl. Yes, I know how to code. Don’t label me. Don’t confine me into one category. A programmer can be anyone — and ScriptEd showed me that.

Technology is growing — but diversity isn’t keeping up
By 2020, one million technology jobs will go unfilled — while talent from underrepresented communities is systematically left out of the pipeline.
Four in five STEM professionals decided their career direction in high school or earlier — which is exactly when we intervene.
Less than 26% of the computing workforce is female. The industry cannot innovate without the full breadth of human perspective.
Less than 15% of computing workers are Black or Latino. Representation in tech must reflect the communities it serves.
