Celebrate Code Platoon is our annual community gathering where alumni, partners, donors, and supporters come together to celebrate the success of military-connected technologists and invest in the future of tech careers for Veterans and military families.

 

Each fall, the event brings together the people who power our mission, including students, mentors, employers, and supporters. It is an opportunity to share stories, recognize partners, and raise funds that expand access to meaningful careers in technology.
