Frontier Technology Institute

We understand there is not a one-size-fits-all to coding education, and we are committed to developing a diverse set of initiatives.

Frontier Technology Institute (FTI) is a 501(c)(3) international nonprofit dedicated to ensuring emerging tech education is accessible, supportive, and empowering for all students. Founded by a Brown undergraduate, The Coding School is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional coding education to ensure coding is accessible and empowering for all students. Our programs currently include:

in school and virtual classroom programs, one-on-one lessons and mentorship, and a program for students with learning disabilities. The Coding School has the largest network of computer science instructors in the country, consisting of a teaching team of 600+ computer science instructors from 75 universities and 30 companies. From studying at Stanford, Ole Miss, and Duke to working at SpaceX, J.P. Morgan, and IBM, our instructors are engaging and passionate about teaching computer science to the next generation. Our educational partners include USC STEM Consortium, USC Viterbi School of Engineering, UCLA’s School of Engineering, and Villanova University.

Summer is almost here ☀️

We’re grateful to the incredible partners and supporters helping us expand access to frontier tech opportunities for learners across the country, including DoW STEM, NIST, NSF, Keysight Technologies, TEDCO, University of Maryland, Columbia University’s Data Science Institute, and Infosys Foundation.

Together, we’re creating pathways into quantum computing, AI, big data, cybersecurity, and other emerging technologies through research, mentorship, and real-world learning experiences.

Here’s to another impactful summer of empowering the next generation of innovators 🚀

06/05/2026

The gap between technological advancement and workforce readiness is widening. And we’re working to close it.

We’ve spent the past decade pioneering emerging tech education for K-16 students and educators. Since 2016, we’ve been teaching AI to high schoolers, and in 2019, we started teaching quantum computing.

Today, FTI is building career-connected pathways across all emerging tech fields for students at every stage of their STEM journey, from middle school to members of the workforce.

Through introductory courses, hands-on research, and professional development, we’re equipping learners with the skills, network, and confidence to thrive in the frontier economy.
