Canada Learning Code (CLC), is celebrating the cumulative contribution of $1 million from the RBC Foundation dedicated to supporting the advancement of the Teens Learning Code programming. RBC has recently announced a commitment of $500,000, over the next two years, which will be added to their previous contribution of $500,000 in August 2018. 

CLC is Canada’s leading national organization championing computer science education and this commitment, as a part of the RBC Future Launch Program, will support further development of computer science education programs for the youth in our communities.

An example of this commitment is the Teen Ambassador Program, an initiative of the Teens Learning Code programming and which was made possible thanks to the previous funding from RBC. This program connects youth with a passion for digital technology from coast-to-coast-to-coast through unique learning experiences, challenging participants to bring computer science education back to their own communities. This program provides opportunities for students like Richa, a Canada Learning Code Teen Ambassador and a recipient of the Ted Rogers Scholarship grant, to further her computer science education through collaborative online workshops and professional development with industry leaders.
