A non-profit, Coderise wants to arm kids the coding skills needed to build their own simple web application. The initiative’s first project is currently in its fundraising campaign phase.

The crowdfunding campaign will enable the non-profit’s first major excursion and begin tackling the issue of social and economic disparity by preparing young people in [developing nations with the skills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/technological-barriers) to start off in the web and technology industries. **Contact Information** Coderise [website](http://coderise.org/) Coderise on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/Coderise) Coderise on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/Code_rise) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Computer Programming Education:** This trend is focused on providing computer programming education to youth, empowering them with valuable coding skills. - **Tackling Inequality:** This trend aims to address the issue of social and economic disparity by providing education and opportunities to young people in developing nations. - **Crowdfunding for Social Impact:** This trend involves using crowdfunding platforms to raise funds for social initiatives, such as empowering youth through technology education. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Education:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the education industry to incorporate computer programming education into their curriculum, preparing youth for the technology-driven future. - **Non-profit:** Non-profit organizations have the opportunity to focus on tackling inequality by providing resources for computer programming education to underserved communities. - **Crowdfunding:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for crowdfunding platforms to highlight and support social impact projects, such as initiatives that empower youth through technology education. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Preschool Coding Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codie-blocks.md) - [Citywide Digital Literacy Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-literacy-program.md) - [Employment-Focused Charity Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-tech-training.md) - [Unique Coding Assistance Softwares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coding-assistance.md) - [Educational Coding Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codeventure.md) - [Digital Literacy Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleo-1.md) - [Hands-On Modern Educational Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-educational-system.md) - [Child-Centric Metaverse Coding Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coding-platforms.md) - [Inspiring Women-Focused Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-science-is-everything.md)
