About Us
Training the STEM leaders of tomorrow
A community where young minds explore ideas, build with technology, and discover what they can create.
We see education as something people build together, not something passed down in one direction. At Code Orbit, a student can become a mentor, a beginner can bring an idea worth exploring, and someone with experience can make a difference simply by sharing what they know. We bring together people who may never have met otherwise, but who share a willingness to learn, teach, experiment, and help others move forward. Our community is built on curiosity, mutual respect, generosity, and the belief that knowledge becomes more meaningful when it is shared. Being student-led is central to who we are. We want young people to have a voice, take responsibility, make decisions, lead initiatives, and learn through doing. We value initiative over titles, contribution over recognition, and genuine collaboration over competition. We are not trying to create a community where everyone follows the same path. We want to create one where people have the freedom to explore their interests, bring their own perspectives, and find others willing to help them grow. And when they are ready, we hope they will do the same for someone else.
Our Founder
Afia Khanam is the Founder and Executive Director of Code Orbit, where her interest in computer science meets her belief in the potential of young people. She sees technology as more than a subject to study; it is a way to question, experiment, create, and approach problems from new perspectives. What began as her initiative has grown into a student-led effort shaped by young people who are willing to share what they know, take responsibility, and learn by building. As a young founder herself, Afia believes leadership is not about having all the answers, but about bringing people together, making room for new ideas, and helping others discover what they are capable of.
