What partners can ask for
Useful deliverables that make the program easier to promote.
Workshop landing page
A clean event page with topic, date, location, registration details, flyer image, course access, and calendar link.

Make the next program easy
Bring CodeForce into a workshop, clinic, grant program, or digital equity project.
CodeForce can meet people where they are: in a library, classroom, senior center, business support office, Zoom room, or online course. The right format depends on the audience, the budget, and how much follow-up support participants need.
Best next step
Start with a short partner conversation. CodeForce can recommend a topic, format, materials plan, and whether grant-funded training, online course access, or a local workshop makes the most sense.
