STARS National

Hey STARS family! 👋🏾

I’m Coach Victor G. Hicks, Founder of Coding with Culture, a Black-owned CS education organization in Atlanta building a Kindergarten-through-HBCU pathway in computational and design thinking.

I’m a proud Fisk and Clark Atlanta grad with 20+ years in K-12 education, and I’m excited to connect with folks doing broadening participation work, especially our HBCU chapters. If you’re doing K-12 outreach in Georgia or just want to swap ideas, my inbox is open.

Glad to be here!

Coach Hicks
