We believe every student deserves an empowering, supportive role model.
Founded by Goktug Bas in 2023, Code Knights is a mentorship nonprofit organization situated in New Jersey.
Goktug recognized an opportunity to harness technology for aiding underprivileged students in mastering chess, math, and coding.
Originating as close companions from Ridgewood High School and Bergen County Academies, we developed a profound connection through our shared experiences. Beyond the camaraderie, we uncovered the transformative potential inherent in mutual teaching and learning.
This realization served as the catalyst for Code Knights evolving into a non-profit organization and a freely accessible online learning hub.
Within this platform, we foster an environment that champions the exchange of knowledge among peers, cultivating collaboration, growth, and the enduring spirit of shared education.
