Who It’s For:
This 100+ page workbook is designed for individuals who are incarcerated and want to begin exploring the world of technology—even without computer or internet access. It is also a valuable resource for educators, correctional staff, and reentry organizations who want to bring meaningful, career-building opportunities to their facilities and communities.

What’s Inside:
The Coding and Tech Pathways for Incarcerated Learners workbook is a fully paper-based guide with 14 chapters of reading exercises, challenges, quizzes, and journaling prompts. Learners will gain exposure to core technology concepts, practice computational thinking, and reflect on how tech can be used to solve problems in their own lives and communities.

Topics include:

• Digital literacy and computer basics

• Coding foundations (algorithms, variables, loops)

• Computer systems and IT

• Cybersecurity and data science

• Quantum computing

• App & web development

• Robotics and automation

• UI/UX design

• Artificial intelligence

• Project management and building a career in tech

Each chapter blends knowledge-building with hands-on activities like sketching an app, designing a robot, writing algorithms on paper, and journaling reflections.

Why It Matters
This workbook was created to open doors to technology education for those often excluded from innovation. It empowers incarcerated learners to build confidence, envision a future in tech, and take the first steps toward careers that create change for themselves and their communities.
