What We Built, Together: Reflections from ColorStackās 2025 Impact Report
When ColorStack first came to life in2020, it wasnāt part of some long-term planāit was a response. A response to atech industry that didnāt reflect the brilliance and potential of Black andLatinx students. A response to the isolation so many of us felt in computerscience classrooms.
Leveling Up, Together: A Recap of the 2025 Stacked Up Summit
What started as a virtual community during the early days of lockdown in 2020 has grown into something truly powerful. Today, ColorStack is 13,000+ members strong, representing over 1,000 schools nationwide. Weāve partnered with 50+ leading tech companies that return year after year to connect with our studentsānot just because itās the right thing to do, but because the talent speaks for itself.
Five Years of ColorStack: The Quinny, the Community, and Whatās Next
Back in May, we hit a huge milestone ā ColorStackās fifth birthday, known fondly as The Quinny! Traditionally, a five-year anniversary is called a quinquenniumābut letās be honest, thatās a mouthful. So, we made it our own. Our Quinny was a celebration of what weāve accomplished so far and how much further weāre ready to imagine and expand the work.
