Products

Each one of our team members created products based on our on-site experience working with Alton Middle Schoolers. Our recent experiences with telling digital stories and forming quick, professional relationships with the kids will help the newer CODE cohorts adapt to on-site work. This includes a framework for telling digital stories, a guide for building successful after-school programs, and forming meaningful connections in a short amount of time.
