BCAUSEICAN brings STEM education to underserved communities to help close socioeconomic gaps. Founded in 2015, BCAUSEICAN began offering coding classes to students at Shaw Community Center, and in 2020, expanded to provide coding classes to Title 1 schools in Prince Georges County. BCAUSEICAN’s flagship program, BCAUSEICANCODE, teaches coding in current IT languages and is offered as a 16- or 32-week after school or summer enrichment program. In addition to teaching languages like Java and Scratch, BCAUSEICAN has begun offering courses in newer technologies like Cloud Computing and AI. Recognizing that many parents and caregivers lack basic digital skills, BCAUSEICAN also offers Family Technology Workshops.
