Bit by Bit is an organization dedicated to providing low-cost and no-cost programs to teach and encourage the next generation to code, lead, and improve their understanding of the world.
Currently we are looking for volunteers who would be interested in joining our software engineer team! These would be some of your main responsibilities:
- Code fun, interactive demo sites for programs
- Automate necessary functions
We require all software engineer volunteers to have substantial experience with coding. This means ample knowledge of HTML/CSS/Javascript or a willingness to learn.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to diversify the community of ponderers and creators by equipping the next generation with the tools of technology, thinking, and leadership to improve the world, bit by bit.
Description
We strive for low-cost programs to teach and encourage students, especially girls and other underrepresented youths in the STEM community, to code, to examine the world, and to lead. We currently offer three programs: Hello World, Form and Function, and Uncommon Sense. Hello World is a summer camp aimed at teaching middle school girls the inner workings of websites. Form and Function is a free after-school program empowering middle schoolers with the tools web development. Uncommon Sense allows high schoolers to examine the world critically and see things with a skeptical eye. For our paid programs, we ensure that scholarships are readily available to ensure all can enjoy our programs. In addition to sharing the gift of code and knowledge, we train student volunteers through hands-on learning to adopt the responsibility, initiative, and dedication critical to strong leadership. We started as a summer camp to teach middle school girls how to code, and the following year, we expanded to clubs for middle schools and high schools. In 2020, we also incorporated critical thinking as one of our services.
