WHY CODE313

Path for every learning journey

We believe equitable access to technology is essential. CODE313 provides innovative eXperiences designed to help close the digital divide.

Featured eXperiences

  • Drones

    Drones are proving to be useful tools in a wide range of industries. Whether it's drone racing, flying taxis, aerial photography or drone light shows, these machines and their applications can take our breath away, leaving us wanting to know more. CODE313 looks to inspire the next generation of great minds by using drones to get students interested in science and technology.

  • Coding

    CODE313's coding curriculum is a fun, accessible, and visual introduction to text or block-based programming that teaches fundamental concepts such as variables, loops, commands and functions. Having scholars learn coding at a young age prepares them for the future. Coding helps scholars with communication, creativity, math, writing, and confidence.

  • Robotics

    Robots provides a microcosm of technologies that support STEM education. In addition to being fun, robots engage beginners and advanced students and incorporate many of the fundamental STEM concepts providing a learning platform that students enjoy. Mastering robotics require science, technology, engineering and math and students don't even realize that this project-based learning model is engaging them in STEM pathways.


    Using robotics, CODE313 has pioneered an approach that Teaches Today's Students for Tomorrows Workforce.

  • Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality

    Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) immersive technologies, add value and create new possibilities in STEM education. VR and AR provide several benefits that apply to any field of STEM education.

  • Artificial Intelligence

    Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are part of our everyday lives. You will find AI everywhere such as in self-driving cars, products that suggest song choice and movies from your previous habits, and mobile apps. AI can also be found in recommendation engines, chatbots and search engines.

Make a difference for the children in your community.
