We are not here to fit in. We are here to build, to learn, and to become.
Welcome to Coding United, a student-led tech club at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). We’re a community of developers, data nerds, tinkerers, and tech dreamers—united by a shared mission:
🎯 To face complexity head-on, forge meaning from chaos, and hold each other to the path of growth.
In this space, all who enter are accepted — not despite their flaws, but because of them. This is not a place for ego or certainty, but for discipline, curiosity, and relentless evolution. Together, we shape what comes next.
Helping every member succeed in their coding coursework through:
- Peer support & tutoring
- Study sessions & review meetups
- Course-aligned workshops
Learning beyond the textbook:
- Coding workshops
- Project-based training
- Language & tool-specific sessions
Exploring new ideas:
- Member-led tech talks
- Book Club & open discussions
- LeetCode Fridays
Tackling ambitious projects:
- Not for perfection, but for progress
- Learning through experimentation
- Embracing challenge, not avoiding it
Support members in contributing to open-source, excelling in advanced courses, and pursuing internships and research.
Encourage lifelong learning, mentorship, and collaboration.
Build tools, software, and prototypes that matter — for communities, personal use, or speculative futures.
Position Coding United as the place where coders aren’t just trained — they’re transformed.
