That local energy is what makes Code For ME feel different — a welcoming place to learn, grow, and build confidence.

About
Hi! I'm Harper, the founder of Code For ME- a local coding camp designed for beginner coders. I believe coding is essential to the future. Whether you're building a toaster or designing the next iPhone, code is behind it all.
I first discovered coding back in third grade, dragging colorful blocks across the screen. I instantly fell in love. But once that class ended, I realized how few programming opportunities were available for students like me.
After years of learning computer science through online and in-person courses, I'm now ready to help your child start their coding journey. Thank you for being here — and welcome to Code For ME!
We personalize experiences with custom-made visuals and posters that help concepts stick and make learning feel approachable.
