Coding for All: SteamRocket's Free Summer Programs Made Possible by CV Giving Day

SteamRocket, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering STEAM programs (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) for children in the Coachella Valley, is thrilled to announce that it has received over $6000 in funding from the 2024 CV Giving Day. The event was generously sponsored by CV Giving Day, First Bank, NPO Centric, RAP Foundation, Auen Foundation, KESQ News, Desert Charities News, and KESQ News Channel 3.

The support from CV Giving Day and its sponsors marks a significant milestone for SteamRocket. It allows the organization to expand its impact and reach more youth in the Coachella Valley. With this funding, SteamRocket is excited to offer free coding programs to Coachella Valley youth this summer.

Co-Founder Justin Decker expresses his gratitude: "We are incredibly grateful to CV Giving Day and its sponsors for their generous support. This funding enables us to further our mission of providing accessible STEAM education opportunities to children in the valley. Offering free coding programs this summer will empower youth with valuable skills and inspire their passion for technology and innovation. We also want to extend our thanks to the local community who supported SteamRocket by donating to our cause."

The free coding programs will provide students with hands-on learning experiences, equipping them with essential coding skills and fostering creativity and problem-solving abilities.
