Our goal is to enable underrepresented groups to learn programming in a safe and collaborative environment and expand their career opportunities. To achieve this, we run free programming workshops, regular events and try to create opportunities for our students making technology and coding more accessible.

🎉 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲: 𝗜 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟯𝟬𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗢𝗳𝗣𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗿! 🎉 Although it happened two months ago: https://lnkd.in/eUtR33GD , I believe milestones like this deserve celebration. Earning this certificate is a proud recognition of my dedication and progress in Python programming and data analysis. I completed the challenge on September 30th, focusing on working with dates and times in Python. I learned to handle date objects, formatting, time zones, daylight saving time, and use Pandas for time-based analysis. This journey has boosted my confidence in managing temporal data, essential for data science projects. Thanks to DataCamp and codebar for supporting this experience! Excited to apply these skills further. #DataScience #Python #DatesAndTimes #Pandas #TimeZones #30DaysOfPython #DataCamp #codebar #codebar30DaysOfPython
We can't thank Francesca Placido and Twilio enough for this end of year donation ❤️ We are incredibly grateful for this support. This year has been particularly challenging, with less funding available in the tech sector. Behind the scenes, we have been working tirelessly to ensure our workshops, events, and community support remain free and accessible for the thousands of people around the world who rely on codebar. Corporate donations like this are a powerful vote of confidence in our mission to help people from underrepresented backgrounds learn to code, and access meaningful opportunities in tech. Ending the year with strong support allows us to step into 2026 with renewed energy and optimism. It strengthens our ability to continue running inclusive, welcoming spaces where people can learn, connect, and thrive. Thank you so much Twilio for believing in our work, and us ❤️💙
Feeling happy, and proud of Twilio for awarding a $25,000 Giving Tuesday grant to codebar! 💙 I first joined Codebar as a coach, and now I’m involved in setting up the Munich chapter. I’ve seen firsthand how much dedication and care go into making Codebar a welcoming space for people from diverse backgrounds to learn programming and grow in tech. Seeing that impact inspired me to nominate them for the grant, and I couldn’t be happier to see them recognized. Grateful to Twilio for supporting Codebar’s mission to make tech more inclusive. 🙌 #GivingTuesday #Twilio #Codebar #Inclusion

Thank you to Google for hosting last week’s Codebar Mock Interview workshop, It was a very busy busy night 🎉 🎉. Special thanks to the team organising everything behind the scenes and the Google developers, who gave their time to coach our students. Your support plays a vital role in helping people from underrepresented backgrounds gain confidence and experience as they start their journey into tech. Our students are women, non-binary, LGBTQ+ & ethnic minorities. Some want to become full-time developers, whereas some would like to learn the basics of coding in a supportive environment. Sign up to join our vibrant community as a student or a coach here https://codebar.io/
