The tech space has far to go when it comes to diversity and inclusion. Coded by Kids seeks to bridge that gap. I speak with CEO, Sylvester Mobley who discusses his program that fosters tech and leadership skills for Philadelphia youth, especially those from underrepresented areas of the city. Mobley also shares about the Coded by Kids Innovation League, a competition for a chance to win $1000 supported by the Philadelphia Eagles.
