Thanks to all who have already given in support of LaunchCode on Give STL Day! You can still make a tax-deductible donation to LaunchCode through 10 a.m. CT on Friday (5/8) here: /organization/launchcode
Your support helps LaunchCoders like Lindsey: "I was working in mental health care and unless I went back for a master's degree, my income could not increase much more. After completing LaunchCode, I was hired by a Fortune 500 company as a Full Stack Developer and now I make nearly 3 times more than I did before LaunchCode."
Happy Give STL Day! Today is your chance to join more than 14,000 generous community members who have made a gift to support the nonprofits that make the St. Louis region a wonderful place to call home. Help LaunchCode empower a technically-fluent, AI-ready workforce by donating to support our training and job placement programs: /organization/launchcode
AI careers should not require a technical background to begin.
Hire Human’s AI 101 is designed for non-technical adults. It is free, self-guided, and built for real schedules: 5-8 hours/week, completed in 30-90 days. The capstone asks learners to build an AI agent that saves at least one hour/day on real work.

AI is transforming how we work — but it can't replace being human.
In the latest 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 episode with LaShana Lewis, LaunchCode Labs CEO Mara Morrison shares why adaptability and emotional intelligence are the new competitive advantage.
We're putting that belief into action with 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 — three free courses built to move people into AI-enabled jobs.
The first, AI 101, launches 3/15.
Your assignment: build an AI agent that saves you at least one hour per day.
No coding background required.
5–8 hours a week.
Free.
If you're navigating career growth in an AI-powered world, this one's for you.
