Org story
Mission Bit origins
Mission Bit was born out of a passion for empowering youth through coding education. Founded by Tyson Daugherty, our organization was inspired by the belief that every student, regardless of background, should have the opportunity to learn and excel in the world of technology. Since our founding, we have been on a mission to bridge the digital divide, provide access to quality coding education, and equip the next generation with the skills they need to succeed in a career powered by technology.
