A complete K–12 curriculum built around real, working projects
w/Code is a comprehensive, studio-based technology program organized into 4 Divisions, 12 Ranks, and 48 Badges across 7 domains. Every badge is earned by completing a real, working project — not a quiz, not a certificate for attending.
Students progress from their first block-code sequence at age 5 to deploying full-stack web apps, training neural networks, and submitting real cybersecurity bug reports by age 17. Every graduate leaves with something they built.

We come to you. Fully equipped.
Schools provide one classroom space. W Institute delivers everything else — curriculum, all equipment, certified instructors, materials, and quarterly reports. Zero operational burden on your staff.
Partnership setup
We define grade groups, confirm scheduling, assign a dedicated w/Code coordinator, and map students to their starting rank. No curriculum overhaul needed.
Equipment & curriculum
We ship and stage all 18 tools. Every kit is numbered, tracked, insured, and maintained by W Institute. Schools never purchase or repair hardware.
Certified instructor delivery
Every class is taught by a w/Code-certified instructor who passed background checks, drug testing, and a supervised shadowing period.
Quarterly reporting
Schools receive reports on each student’s rank, completed badges, project outputs, and attendance, plus bi-annual leadership reviews.
36 instructional weeks across 3 terms (September–June). Summer camps are an optional add-on.
$225 per student. Per term. Everything included.
One flat rate covers all curriculum, equipment, instructor sessions, materials, and reporting. No annual commitment, no equipment surcharges, no hidden fees.
One term of w/Code
A complete rank module — 12 weekly sessions, all equipment, certified instructor, 4 earned project badges. Start any term, scale at any pace.
The complete academic year
Three consecutive terms covering the full rank progression for each student’s division — maximum learning continuity.
Summer camp add-on · +$225 per student
Add the w/Code summer STEAM camp term (July–August) at the same per-term rate. Ten-plus camp themes — drones, AI, robotics, web, VR, game dev — with an end-of-summer project showcase and priority rank placement for fall.

Many schools pay nothing at all
w/Code’s documented curriculum and project-based assessment framework align with multiple government and private grant programs. We work with your grant coordinator to identify funding and prepare documentation — at no additional cost.
Title IV-A — Student Support & Academic Enrichment
Federal funding for well-rounded educational opportunities including STEM and technology programs, directly applicable to w/Code’s coding and robotics curriculum.
Federal · Flexible amount per schoolTitle I — Improving Basic Programs
Schools serving high-poverty populations can allocate Title I funds for supplemental enrichment that supports academic achievement.
Federal · Per-school award21st Century Community Learning Centers
Federal grants for academic enrichment during non-school hours — aligned with w/Code’s after-school delivery and outcome reporting.
Federal · $50K–$500K+ per yearNational & State STEM Grant Programs
Most states operate dedicated STEM K–12 enrichment grants. Our curriculum architecture and rubrics satisfy their documentation requirements.
National / State · CompetitiveCorporate & Private Foundation Grants
Technology companies frequently sponsor STEM education at partner schools. We help connect schools with aligned corporate funders.
Private · Varies by funderDigital Equity & E-Rate Funding
Programs expanding technology access in underserved schools can cover equipment and infrastructure costs, reducing the school’s contribution.
Federal · Eligibility variesA graduate with more than a diploma
A student who completes the full journey exits with a documented, verifiable portfolio — evidence of real work in every major domain of modern technology.
GitHub portfolio, 3+ deployed projects
A full-stack web app, a data science project with visualizations, and an AI model accessible online — all version-controlled and documented.
Drone film screened publicly
A complete aerial film produced with CoDrone EDU and OpenCV computer vision — scripted, shot, edited, and screened at the TV-2 capstone.
Live AI model deployed as public API
A neural network trained, validated, and deployed as an accessible web interface or API endpoint anyone can interact with.
3D product pitched to an external panel
Advanced Fusion 360 design, printed prototype, and full business model — pitched to real judges with market research and pricing.

Three steps to launch w/Code at your school
Schedule a discovery call — 30 minutes
We’ll learn about your grade levels, scheduling availability, current enrichment programs, and goals. Zero commitment — just a conversation about fit.
Receive a custom proposal
A tailored plan for your school — division and rank mapping per grade level, session schedule, and a funding roadmap of grants you likely qualify for.
Launch a one-term pilot
Start with one grade band for one term — no long-term commitment. Most schools expand to full delivery after the first term.
Typical launch timeline
Let’s build the next generation together
Give every student in your school a K–12 journey that ends with real skills, a real portfolio, and a future they’re prepared to lead.
