About Code Orbit
Code Orbit began in 2024 with a simple idea: teaching a handful of students to code at a local library. That small beginning has grown into a student-led nonprofit making coding, artificial intelligence, and STEM education free and accessible to learners worldwide. Today, our community spans the United States, Canada, East and West Africa, and Asia. Through 50+ workshops and 20+ AI awareness sessions, we connect students with mentors, educators, schools, libraries, and youth organizations. From foundational coding with Scratch to AI, data analysis, and ethical research, our programs emphasize hands-on learning, real-world projects, and collaboration. We believe technology education should go beyond tutorials. Students should have the opportunity to experiment, build, ask questions, solve real-world problems, and learn from one another. At Code Orbit, we are creating a community where learners can grow into creators, mentors, and innovators, regardless of where they come from or what resources they have.
Our Mission
To break barriers in technology education by creating an inclusive global community where young people can access free learning opportunities, develop skills, share ideas, mentor one another, and build solutions that make a difference.

From Problem to Prototype: Think Like a Builder
From Problem to Prototype: Think Like a Builder Mentor: Michael Okoth Dates: October 10 & 11, 2026 Time: 4:30 PM Egypt Time | 10:30 AM EDT Duration: 2 hours per session Total: 2 Sessions Mode: Google Meet (meeting link will be shared closer to each session) Fee: Free Technology starts with a problem, not a programming language. In this course, learners will explore how to identify real problems, break them down, think of possible solutions, and turn their ideas into simple prototypes. Using examples from school, their communities, AI, robotics, and everyday life, students will learn how to move from “Someone should solve this” to “I can build something that solves this.” The sessions will cover problem-solving, design thinking, innovation, prototyping, and responsible technology use. Learners will also have the opportunity to identify a problem around them and develop an idea for a technology project. The goal is to help students think independently, solve real problems, and take their first steps toward building something useful.
