StudentRND

StudentRND is a non-profit organization which runs multiple programs to promote STEM education for middle school, high school and college students. The organization is a non-profit corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) designation; headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

According to the StudentRND website, the organization's goal is to "appeal to students with little or no programming interest and, by the end of each event, show them that coding is both fun and impactful — both individually, and on the world as a whole",. The organizations programs aim to attract students to learn coding by leveraging existing interests, which the organization claims in an effective way of creating interest in new students.

At least 15,000 people have gone through StudentRNDs programs in 42 cities nationwide. The events attract a large number of beginners, but 70% of the beginners report that they are still coding several months after attending.

Attendees of StudentRND's programs are very diverse for the tech industry: 43% of CodeDay attendees are girls, 38% are from low-income communities, and 28% are minorities. Industry diversity is much lower, with Google reporting only 3% minorities, and 18% women attendees.
