CodeOp was founded in 2018 to help solve the gender disparity problem in the tech space. We’re the first international tech school for women, transgender, and non-binary individuals (women+) who want to transition to, or upskill in tech.
CodeOp is:
Women. Transgender. Nonbinary. Education. Technology. Community. Diversity. Change.
A vibe.
We believe education gives birth to new worlds
And helps old worlds disappear: marginalisation, gender disparity, underrepresentation, biases— issues all too commonplace in an industry that aspires to uplift us all.
We’re here to provide the safe space, training, and resources needed to encourage, support, and equip women+ with the skills they need to thrive in the tech industry. In doing so, we aim to change the culture of tech worldwide.
