Computer science is a rapidly expanding field, but not every school offers students the opportunity to learn it. Code 4 Tomorrow provides free, virtual coding classes to students from elementary to high school. Seize your chance to become a part of the future today—it's as simple as the click of a button.

Virtual
Global
C4T has a variety of courses that are all free and online. We are also a global organization, so students from anywhere are welcome and able to participate.
Registration
Nothing! Our classes are 100% free :)
Our courses are designed for students aged 10-18 years old
(grades 4-12). Adults (18+ years old) are not allowed to
register or participate in our classes (high school seniors who
are 18 years old are still allowed to participate, however).
Generally, our beginner courses are aimed at elementary and
middle schoolers. Our intermediate courses are aimed at middle
and high schoolers. Our advanced courses are aimed at high
schoolers.
However, there are exceptions to this. For example, our Scratch
course is engaging for elementary schoolers, but it may be too
easy for high schoolers. On the other hand, our machine learning
course is recommended for high schoolers only, including the
beginner level.
Students are encouraged to register for classes they will do
their best in, no matter their grade level. Please refrain from
registering students in courses that are too advanced for them
and read the prerequisites carefully.
Students or parents can fill out a registration form for one of our programs.
On that form, they can choose the courses, dates, and times they prefer.
Our Class Scheduling team will then match students to their preferred
classes to the best of their ability.
Unfortunately, due to high demand and varying teacher availability, we
cannot guarantee that students will be enrolled in all classes they sign up
for. However, we always try to make sure that each student gets into at
least 1 class they want.
About 1 week before classes begin, parents should receive an email confirming
their student's enrollments.
Our Class Scheduling team processes schedule change requests only in
extenuating circumstances (e.g. if there is a schedule
conflict and the student absolutely cannot attend the class they
signed up for). We unfortunately cannot accommodate requests that
are submitted due to student/parent preference.
In the event that you need to request a schedule change, please
email our Class Scheduling team at
classes@code4tomorrow.org
or message the #questions channel on the C4T Classes
Discord
server.

don't see on our list, we’d love to have you on our Curriculum Development team! You
can apply to be a member here.
Classes
We have 4 sets of days:
Your student's teacher will provide a Zoom or Google Meet link so that classes can meet remotely. Teachers may also decide to hold meetings on your class's private Discord voice channel. (To learn more about how we use Discord, see our Discord Guide)
To ensure a productive learning environment, our student-teacher ratio is no larger than 15:1. Our classes vary in size depending on teacher availability and student demand for any given class.
Yes, teachers may assign students coding homework that they should be able to complete within 30-60 minutes.
It is up to your student's teacher as to where coding will take place.
In the past, teachers have used in-browser IDEs (integrated development
environments) such as
Replit
, which simply require internet access.
Other teachers, especially those teaching more advanced classes, may ask
that students download a separate IDE or text editor application to
their computers. However, teachers will guide students through this
process on the first day of class - students don't need to do anything beforehand.
