We had a great time hosting this Computer Programming Roundtable Discussion in collaboration with The Girls' Place Chicago. It was a very inspiring conversation with special guests, Linda Grayburn and Audrey P. Willis (co-founder of Code Crew) youtu.be/h5IxNXGrh5E
Excited about our new logo! Do you like it?

We agree! This is especially true when learning how to program. In practice, we celebrate the wins and work to embrace the failures. Motivation can be found in both of these moments. #learning #practice

One of our amazing teachers put together this parody of Brenton Wood (Alfred Smith)’s Classic 1967 Hit: "Gimme Little Sign” from the perspective of an online teacher. I'm sure many teachers can relate! 🤣 youtube.com/watch?v=Na2GTpON… #teaching #teachinginapandemic

Happy Saturday! Blackbird School has a story for you. It's about learning and code... and there's a happy ending! 🌤️ #STEMeducation #learning #programming #Equity
What if code camps or high school computer science courses aren't reasonable first steps into code for most people? Should we be "weeded out"? No. Justice. Peace. Blackbird School. Free/Pay what you can. #Coding #homeschool #equity #onlinelearning #OnlineClasses
