STEM Coding Lab is Pittsburgh's only nonprofit exclusively devoted to providing computer science (CS) education to our region's under-resourced youth. We provide CS classes to students in grades K-8 in after school and in-school settings as well as summer programming.
This summer, STEM Coding Lab is seeking assistance with its summer program, entitled CS Explorers. CS Explorers is a six-week summer enrichment opportunity for Pittsburgh middle school students, during which, the students will be exposed to an overview of six computer science themes - artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, animation, data analytics, advanced manufacturing, and cybersecurity.
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteer instructors to help support our programming. Volunteers will be asked to assist with instruction, team-based learning activities, and more. Volunteers are a crucial asset in our effort to inspire, engage, and help young people grow.

Mission Statement
STEM Coding Lab's mission is to provide children learning in underresourced communities with access to computer science education to better prepare them to compete in the digital world.
Description
STEM Coding Lab is the only Pittsburgh nonprofit devoted exclusively to bringing computer science education into under-resourced schools throughout our region. In providing expert instruction for both in-school and after-school settings, the work of STEM Coding Lab is designed to activate the next generation of digitally literate STEM professionals and expose those students learning in underfunded environments to lessons that will prepare them to compete in the 21st Century.
At STEM Coding Lab, we believe that early student development of basic computer science skills is a critical first step in addressing income disparities that persist throughout our city, particularly in majority-minority neighborhoods. Moreover, we believe that pursuit of racial and social justice should begin in classrooms by empowering under-resourced students with the skills needed to break cycles of generational poverty.
STEM Coding Lab works with the Pittsburgh Public School District, as well as a variety of charter schools and afterschool programs, to provide both in-school and after-school CS classes. Our goal for in-school classes is to assist teachers to integrate coding into their everyday classes - regardless of their subject area expertise.
