About Code on Wheels

Code on Wheels is a Grand Rapids, Michigan–based nonprofit (501(c)(3) Tax ID 88-0935985) that delivers hands-on coding and STEM education to students from elementary through high school, with a focus on underserved and underrepresented communities. The organization operates after-school clubs, multi-session coding classes, and one-day Exploration Workshops designed to spark interest and build technical and soft skills.

Founded through a transition and rebrand from The Loop Coding Center, Code on Wheels partners with local schools, community organizations, and funders to deliver free or low-cost programs across Grand Rapids; recent activity includes school-based clubs (for example in Godwin Heights), community partnerships, and local media features highlighting the organization’s student outcomes and rapid program uptake. Code on Wheels reports measurable outcomes from participant surveys (high percentages reporting increased confidence and interest in technology) and has been an active grant recipient in the local philanthropic ecosystem.
