What is a Code Jam?

**barrier-free family fun**

A Code Jam is a free event that allows all students and their grown-ups to explore coding and technology in an inclusive and interactive environment.

These events provide a judgment-free zone full of fun, encouragement, and exploration; it’s all about sparking interest and trying new things! Attendees have the opportunity to learn about career pathways from field experts, engage with like-minded community members, and learn about emerging technology, trends, and more.
