About CodeCraftCreate Foundation
Our Mission
CodeCraftCreate Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to make STEM education accessible to all by providing inclusive, community-driven programs that empower individuals of all ages.
Our Vision
We envision a community where every individual, regardless of age or background, has the opportunity to engage in transformative STEM education. Through our programs, we strive to cultivate a culture of lifelong learning, innovation, and digital safety. By building strong partnerships and fostering collaboration, we aim to create a safer, more informed, and technologically empowered society.
Why We exist
Early engagement in STEM and digital safety...
is crucial, shaping children’s future choices and capabilities by the third or fourth grade. Without this foundation, underserved youth may be deterred from pursuing opportunities in these critical fields, leading to a significant loss of talent and innovation.
CodeCraftCreate Foundation addresses these challenges by offering consistent education in STEM and digital safety from kindergarten through adulthood. Our mission is to close the opportunity gap and enhance online safety, ensuring that all learners, especially those in underserved communities, have the tools to navigate and succeed in an increasingly digital world.
