In July 2013, fifty teens gathered on the 2nd Floor of the Chattanooga Public Library for fourweeks to learn HTML, CSS, Python, and robotics

in a program calledDEV DEV:<summer of code/>.

Why?


It all started with a conversation…


IMPORTANCE OF COLLABORATION

From the beginning, we realized that none of the involved organizations had all of the

expertise to make an event like this successful alone.

Guest Speakers

“Listening to these people talk was inspiring to me because they were all self-taught, and yet, they have really good jobs

and have amazing opportunities. It’s really cool the advantages we will have because we have learned code. Talking with these

people makes me want to continue to learn.”

“The only other thing to say is that Dev Dev has made me realize how cool the library is and I will definitely be spending more time here!”


Who learned more? Us or them?
