Codecademy and The White House Announce Code Summer+ Youth Education Program

Today, Codecademy in conjunction with The White House announced a new program to educate the nation's underprivileged and disconnected youth: Code Summer+. The announcement was made at an event held by Twilio and hosted by US CTO Aneesh Chopra. There, Codecademy's co-founder Zach Sims explained that as part of Obama's larger Summer Jobs+ initiative, Code Summer+ will offer a "condensed version of our curriculum to get [youth] on track to become engineers." Additionally, partners including Foursquare, Twilio, and any other company can work with Codecademy to create lessons that will be distributed to the kids.
