Description
Coding for a purpose: helping young people combine journalism, data, design, and code to make media that makes a difference. In Code for What?, Clifford Lee and Elisabeth Soep explore the idea of coding as a justice-driven medium for storytelling. The authors examine the work of a diverse group of young people in Oakland, California, who use these skills to create digital products with social impact. These projects include interactive explorations of gendered dress code policies, tools for LGBTQ+ youth experiencing discrimination, and a mobile app promoting mental health through self-awareness and outreach for support. By working with educators and media professionals, these teens found their own vibrant answers to "why code?" They use coding to gain insight, connection, community, accountability, creative expression, joy, and hope.
