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.
Space is limited and participation is on a first come first serve basis so don't wait!
See What Our Apprentices are Building...
Our apprentices are building a suite of mobile games! This project will help us generate funding for our FREE tech training programs. We provide our apprentices with professional opportunities, and this is our way to showcase the results we can achieve when you sponsor and support our mission.

Our apprentices will build it! See the quality of our training programs through the skills they've earned!
The app is FREE. Every dollar you spend while enjoying our games directly funds our tech training programs!
Create a virtuous cycle: apprentices build software, the community receives software, and all proceeds ensure we can keep training new apprentices!
The current app is open for testing by all of our supporters and sponsors! If you'd like to request access, use the links below to join and download the game!
Our projects make it possible to develop free career training programs within our local community. Offering high quality, professional, FREE training from local software developers is a challenge we can meet with your support.
We want members of our community to be equal participants in the digital economy by learning to be more than digital consumers. We do this through supporting professional career development for aspiring programmers. Programmers Guild Oakland is doing our part to ensure we're represented in the next generation of programmers! These young professionals will lead the charge to develop the software we all rely upon.
This campaign 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! We're proud to partner with other organizations whose mission aligns well with our own, especially if you're local!
