The 91社区 Codes! Program's mission is to teach the basics of programming to students with no prior experience, help close the gender and racial gap in technology, and provide Harpur College students access to essential job skills. The program launched in 2020 and is sponsored by Jim and Heather Bankoski in collaboration with the Center for Learning and Teaching and the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences.
