Sadly there's a good chance that high school did not introduce the most important skills of the future. In fact, only 45% of high schools teach programming and almost none cover topics like Data Science and Cyber Security.

I'm the person on the right.

I'm Avi, so pleased to meet you!

Eight years ago I founded Flatiron School with the mission of helping people learn to love code, master the craft, and get a job. From writing the curriculum, to teaching, to developing our unique pedagogy, I loved being involved in every aspect of creating the school.

Today the school has taught over 5,000 people how to code. It changed their lives. I even helped start Kode with Klossy, a non-profit that brings technology and confidence to thousands of young women.

As you can tell I'm passionate about sharing my passions, and I love reviving a love of learning in people.
