We're partnering with West Oakland Public Library for Teen Tech Lab this Summer in June! For those aged 12+, we're creating a dynamic workshop where youth can explore the digital alchemy of coding! This event is free to the general public.

Participants will learn how to build the most popular software ever: video games! And this isn't just coding, as we'll create 2D/3D art and digital music, all while learning how to combine them into an interactive gaming experience with code.

This event starts June 10th and ends June 13th.

See What Our Apprentices are Building...

At Programmers Guild, we're focused on hands-on experience. Apprentices train and then they get to work building software. It's the easiest and best way to learn the craft! This year, our apprentices will be working on a small mobile game. This is our way to showcase the results we can achieve with a supportive, nurturing community behind us!


The current app is open for testing by all supporters and sponsors! If you'd like to request access, use the links below to join and download the game!


Your Support is Love

We want members of our community to be equal participants in the digital economy by learning to be more than digital consumers. Programmers Guild is doing our part to ensure open doors for young professionals who will build the software of the future. And our partners have been incredibly supportive.

Our mission has been nurtured and supported by our beloved community at Oakstop, and our amazing partner Soul Beat TV! These organizations have our eternal gratitude for all of their support! To all of our partners and supporters: THANK YOU.
