Bridge Foundry Impact & Vision

Since 2009, Bridge Foundry has empowered people with technology through teaching and facilitating access, enlarging the community of people who give back and teach others. Bridge Foundry was instrumental in the creation of the learn to code movement. Using our open-source curricula and teaching techniques, hundreds of workshops in dozens of cities around the world have been organized and taught by volunteers.Over the past ten years, Bridge Foundry has grown into a sustainable ecosystem of volunteers and communities that teach people coding skills throughout the world. We provide open source resources on how to create the tech that powers our world, focused on outreach to people traditionally underserved by the tech industry.
