About our workshops
Immersive, In-person technology workshops hosted across Canada for Black youth
Black Boys Code is proud to offer a range of free, in-person workshops meticulously designed for both beginner and advanced learners. Black youth aged 8 to 17 are introduced to the world of digital innovation through immersive, project-based Workshops that explore the foundations of computer programming, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Our workshops are built around interactive, hands-on projects that allow students to explore real-world applications of technology. Each workshop is carefully developed by educational and industry professionals, ensuring that content is age-appropriate, engaging, and aligned with current technology and educational trends.
University connections
By conducting our workshops on university and college campuses, we demystify the university concept and show youth at an early age that they belong. It also makes them more comfortable with being on a post-secondary campus, while encouraging them to pursue an education in the technology fields.
Representation matters
We partner with prominent and successful Black STEM professionals who share their experiences and inspire the youth who attend our workshops. These professionals also act as strong positive Black role models, something that the kids may not see in media or in the school system.
