AIM Code School has been named one of the top online coding schools of 2020 by Newsweek. One of seven organizations to be chosen for the list, AIM Code School is the only one in the Midwest.
Our code school courses moved fully remote and online during the COVID-19 global pandemic, making it easy for students to continue their coursework on the foundations of web development and coding speciality courses.
“This designation reflects the success of our flexible AIM Code School offerings,” said Emily Matis, AIM Code School director. “Our accredited courses have changed the lives of our students and strengthened the Omaha tech talent pipeline.”
No matter where you are on the tech continuum, AIM Code School has a course for you, from free workshops on web development basics to advanced programming courses in Python, .Net and full stack Java.
In addition to learning crucial programming and development skills, our students build meaningful connections within the community — the kinds of connections that lead to new jobs, new opportunities and new perspectives. Like Java class graduate Eric Swanson, whose AIM Code School contacts opened the door to his first programming job at Flywheel, along with the opportunity to give back to the community by teaching at Highlander Code Camp.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median pay for a programmer is $86,550. The average salary for an entry-level web developer in Omaha is $60,409 (indeed.com) and $76,604 for an entry-level full-stack developer (Glassdoor).

AIM Institute has had an impact across generations throughout its 27-year history. The 2018 nonprofit impact report highlights how AIM, through the support of its partners, donors, collaborators and the community, has impacted lives through the footprint of its programs and services, and how to support AIM as it elevates its mission.
We are at an unprecedented time where technology touches every industry and occupation. AIM Institute is the only nonprofit dedicated to building a connected community for tech talent. In 2019 and beyond, AIM Institute is steadfast in its mission to continue to grow, connect and inspire the tech talent community, impacting thousands of lives across the Silicon Prairie.
Nonprofit AIM Institute will celebrate achievement in youth programming with an ice cream social at the AIM Brain Exchange, 1902 Howard Street on Wednesday, May 22 at 11 a.m. During this event, visitors will enjoy complimentary ice cream and “Raspberry Pi” as they experience student STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) technology used in AIM’s youth programs at area schools. Visitors also will have an opportunity to support expansion of AIM’s youth programming in Omaha and Council Bluffs.
In a world that’s becoming increasingly complex, success is driven not only by what you know, but by what you can do with what you know. It’s more important than ever for our youth to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to solve tough problems, gather and evaluate evidence, and make sense of information. Reaching more than 6,000 children in 2018 thanks to support from the community, AIM’s youth programming is designed to build skills students need through hands-on and inspirational activities with technology that incorporates STEAM.
AIM Institute, an innovative not-for-profit that grows, connects and inspires the tech community, today announced an expansion of its youth in technology program. The three-year, $850,000 program expansion is partially funded by grant funding received from an anonymous donor and will reach an additional 1,500 students, beginning September 2019.
AIM provided technology and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math) education to more than 6,000 children and teens in 2018 at multiple schools, including Wakonda Elementary School in north Omaha and at the Brain Exchange, AIM’s technology exploration and education center in downtown Omaha. The program expansion will increase AIM’s presence at additional elementary and middle schools in Omaha and Council Bluffs, providing after-school and summer activities that emphasize technology exploration and STEAM learning.
“The program expansion will truly be an investment in the future of our youth and our community,” said AIM Institute President and CEO, Dr. Kandace Miller. “We are grateful to the anonymous donor who has helped set our goals into motion.”
“The need for STEAM skills permeates every industry. Sparking interest and excitement early through engaging, hands-on STEAM activities involving the latest technology creates opportunity and visualization of the future for children in our area, particularly those from underserved populations who would not otherwise have had this opportunity,” said Miller.
