    9 Dots is an educational technology non-profit aiming to provide K-6 students from Title I elementary schools with the opportunity to engage in a transformative computer science (CS) education. We are especially committed to creating empowering CS experiences for our female, Latinx, Black, and low-income students. We create learning environments that engage every student, foster joy, and promote fearlessness in problem-solving. And we build sustainably by providing teachers with the support and tools they need to lead exceptional computer science learning experiences.

By focusing on simplicity, clarity, and joy, you aim to transform the daily interactions teachers have with our platform into positive and empowering experiences.
