These students will be spending between 10 to 18 months to complete all the 9 foundation tracks. In 2023, 10 students completed our coding curriculum and were employed by various companies and they were earning salaries of at least $100,000 per year. The remaining students will continue to learn in 2024 at various stages of the curriculum. These students also used their newly acquired skills and knowledge to build industry standard components for our foundation tracks. In addition, we have 20 volunteers mentoring and guiding new students and they have donated nearly 4,000 volunteer hours of service to the organization. The value of the donated time is estimated to be over $200,000 (4000 x 50). Furthermore, due to Covid-19 restrictions, we developed the YouTube version of the coding curriculum where students can follow the 9 foundation tracks through the video version on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWJ7Gw_fL6QT6aEszp1agtA/videos ). We also have the chat room on Discord.com where students can seek help by posting their questions and someone will assist them. Additionally, the organization also provided financial assistance to low- or no-income students while they are learning how to code. For 2023, no financial assistance was given to these students to pay for their rents and living expenses. The organization also provided $2,510 as reimbursements to expenses incurred by volunteers. To date, the organization has helped 10 low- or no-income people to be gainfully employed in the software development industry. The organization will continue to raise more funds so that more low- or no-income people can be retrained to be software engineers. 3 initiatives were implemented in 2020 and in 2021, we improved and added more functionality to our initiatives. Initiative 1: Online self-paced modules: The years 2019 thru 2023 saw the completion of our structured online curriculum at https://c0d3.com. Based on the student's learning and interviewing experiences, we have established a comprehensive learning curriculum to properly structure the student's learning process. 100 students have enrolled and completed various levels of the online curriculum. Five students who had completed our new curriculum were offered full-time jobs in 2023. Initiative 2: Open-Source Initiative: The establishment of our open-source initiatives to teach engineering standards and to provide students with the opportunities to master the best practices in the industry and make an impact in their skills (https://github.com/garageScript). One Open-source project (MyProxy) was launched in 2019. Blog post written by a student. Initiative 3: Local Community Support: In late 2019, we also established a working relationship with our local city public library (San Jose Public Library) and started a daily meetup group at the library for providing a physical presence for our local community who needs help. In every meeting, we have consistently about 5-8 students showing up to learn. However, in late December 2019, due to COVID-19, we had to put a pause on our library presence. Since then, we have been focusing on building a stronger online community support. Our working relationship with the public library will resume after the lifting of COVID-19 shelter in place order by the city. Our online curriculum on c0d3.com was launched for external students to join and provided a platform for our volunteers to engage with more students who need guidance. Initiative 4: Video version of self-paced modules: In 2020, the video version of our structured online curriculum was created and launched on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWJ7Gw_fL6QT6aEszp1agtA/videos ). This version allows students to follow the instructions and lessons on YouTube. Students can rewind and repeat any parts of the lessons presented on YouTube and the online curriculum. 0 0 0 75171 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 CA X James Lim 3102707868 1431 Allston Way Berkeley CA 94702 X Yinghua Gao President/Chief Executive Officer 10 0 X 0 0 0 Rong Zheng Secretary 5 0 X 0 0 0 James Lim Treasurer 10 0 X 0 0 0 Song Zheng Technical Advisor 20 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 77092 0 77092 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 77092 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 40071 40071 0 0 29525 29525 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 448 448 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Food 381 381 0 0 Vehicle Leasing Expenses 4411 4411 0 0 Bank Service Fees 140 140 0 0 Fundraising Expenses 195 195 0 0 0 0 0 0 75171 75171 0 0 1849 3770 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1849 3770 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 1849 3770 0 0 1849 3770 1849 3770 1921 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 131082 133367 153196 76603 77092 571340 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131082 133367 153196 76603 77092 571340 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 571340 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131082 133367 153196 76603 77092 571340 1 1 0 0 X Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The completed Form 990 was emailed to all directors for review and approval.
