Emerging Coders
Northwestern University's Community of First-Generation and Low-Income Technologist
About Emerging Coders
Emerging Coders is a community for FGLI (First-generation, Low-income) students who are interested in Tech. Our purpose is to enable students in the club improve their skills (e.g., coding projects, networking etc.), provide mentorship and resources throughout your college experience, and to create meaningful projects.
