Coding With Culture

Detroit has always been a global force for innovation from Motown’s worldwide cultural influence to its groundbreaking legacy in Engineering and manufacturing. Through creativity, music, and building , Detroit shaped industries and inspired generations.

Today, Coding with Culture reconnects young people to that legacy by showing how creativity can power success in the digital economy through STEAM, Music and choreography.

This unique 4-week workshop takes the intimidation away from learning new skills like coding and AI prompts to an engaging, culturally relevant experience by connecting:

• Beat making, Music and choreography to coding fundamentals

• Art, storytelling, animation, and AI tools to digital creation

• Creative expression to real-world technology career pathways

Participants will discover how their passions in dance, music, and art are transferable to careers in STEAM and can evolve into skills for the future positioning them as the next generation of innovators, creators, and tech leaders.

Detroit built global culture through music.

Now it can build global opportunities through technology.
