A lot is happening at Hacker School as we enter the final stretch of 2024. We have now inspired over 20,000 young people this year, bringing us closer to our goal of making coding accessible to even more youth across the country. This is a significant step towards our long-term vision: that every young person should have the opportunity to learn programming before deciding on a career path.
One of the highlights this year has been the immense honor of having Elke Büdenbender, Germany's First Lady, take on the patronage of Hacker School. Her involvement emphasizes the importance of digital education, particularly in reaching young girls and students from underserved communities. As she stated, her aim is to help ensure that every child in Germany has the chance to access digital education, regardless of their background.
In addition, we are proud to have published our book "Hack the World a Better Place", which captures the essence of our decade-long journey and features inspiring examples of how companies like Allianz, Bosch, and Deutsche Bahn can contribute to shaping the future through digital education.
As we prepare for the final months of the year, the focus remains on maintaining our momentum, building new partnerships, and hosting exciting events that will further drive our mission forward. With ambitious goals on the horizon, we are ready to make 2024 one of our most impactful years yet.
