CODERS is an educational outreach program that helps under-served schools engage students in coding, computational thinking, and physics, while concurrently developing a deeper understanding of core curriculum like math, reading, and writing.

The program is directed by Dr. Keri R. Franklin, Dr. Razib Iqbal, Dr. Tammi Davis, Dr. Dianna Piccolo, and Dr. Andrew Homburg.

The CODERS team was awarded a $4 million EIR Early Phase grant in 2021.
