The NextGen Coders Network (NGCN) is a virtual exchange implemented by World Learning that brings together university students and young professionals to create solutions to their countries’ greatest challenges using code.

The exchange is structured as a 10-week “Hackathon” that includes instruction on cross-cultural collaboration, introduction to coding languages, and facilitated project design. Teams are multi-disciplinary and transnational, with each member bringing unique perspective and expertise on critical fields such as healthcare, civic engagement, and the environment. At the end of each NGCN cycle, teams demo their prototype solutions at Solutions Showcase. Learn more.
