CodeVA Secures $1.2M to Expand Equitable Computer Science Education Across Virginia

We are excited to announce that CodeVA, a trailblazer in computer science education, has successfully raised $1,200,000 in funding to expand its vital outreach programs across Virginia. Since its inception in 2013, CodeVA—short for Code Virginia—has been committed to its mission of partnering with schools, families, and communities to ensure that every student in the Commonwealth has access to equitable computer science education opportunities. This significant funding milestone will empower CodeVA to enhance its proven initiatives, introduce new programs, and expand its reach to underserved communities that stand to benefit the most from digital literacy and technical skills training. At its core, CodeVA lives by the motto “You Belong Here,” reflecting a steadfast belief in inclusivity and the transformative potential of equitable education. With this fresh injection of capital, CodeVA plans to invest further in teacher training, curriculum innovation, and cutting-edge resources that equip classrooms with engaging, real-world computer science experiences. By leveraging this funding, the organization will not only build upon its existing programs but also pioneer new partnerships and community-driven projects that pave the way for the next generation of technology leaders. The commitment to breaking down barriers in computer science access is stronger than ever as CodeVA continues to serve as a beacon for students eager to explore the digital frontier. We invite everyone passionate about education and technology to join us in supporting this exciting new chapter.
