Coding with Culture- Coach V. Hicks, CEO

This Vince McMahon documentary is bringing back some core childhood memories!! 😂😂

Today was dope! I thought Board meetings wouldn’t interest me, but grateful to lend my voice to a Board that values equity in education.

First school board meeting as a full member of the Board! It was a long session but the work was worth it!!

Tired of cookie-cutter STEM that don’t speak to our kids? Coding with Culture brings:
1. HBCU-inspired curriculum that centers Black brilliance
2. Culturally grounded CS + design projects
3. Real results—confidence, skills, & joy in learning

Let’s build a pathway , not just a program.

Hi, Black People? *taps mic* Y'all smoking up in here?
Anywho...enroll Black children in some type of computer science/tech...even if it aint with us (although we are the best.. 💁🏽‍♂️..) the importance of the exposure is bigger than us.
But for real.

Diversity in CS ain’t just a slogan—it’s a call to action.
Coding with Culture empowers Black & Brown kids to see themselves in tech.

✨ Culturally-relevant. HBCU-rooted. Student-centered.

I will admit on Chaka Khans internet, I made a huge mistake on Wicked! Finally watched it on a flight and BAYBAY!! You better SANG, small head bald head!! Can’t wait for part 2!!

Hey y’all Hey! I had the honor of appearing on the One Voice in CS Podcast, sharing my ‘why’, the importance of HBCUs in computer science and the pedagogy behind Coding with Culture! Check it out!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

I use the same ones. They apply.

Good Morning Saints & Ain’ts!! Every morning you rise is proof that your ancestors’ wildest dreams live on through you. Move with purpose. Build with pride. Lead like freedom depends on it—because it does.

The ASU+GSV Conference was definitely one for the record books! My 5 biggest takeaways?

• Network = strategy, not just support
• HBCU faculty must be at every table
• Culture is pedagogy, not decoration
• Black founders are building legacy, not hype
• Joy + justice = the future of education

Checking out the March #Canvassador Meet Up! Listening to all the cool things Canva has in store and a sneak peek at Canva Create! It’s coming up in April!!

Wait what?? Is that a real photo?? Sheesh!

Green!!

LOVE IT!!!

Thank you friend! You are so sweet. Yes , the kids and I all had a blast!!!

I really really dislike when I order wings and they are subpar. I was really looking forward to em too. I’m telling you, my uber, Grubhub, dash days are numbered. stuff is too expensive to just be ‘ok’.

Scratch + Black history = magic at #GEMtopia2025 with the Gwinnett Deltas. We code for the culture.

Baby, Beyonce Mashantala Ronisha Peterson Knowles Carter know she did the damn thing on ‘Jealous’. Good Morning, Saints and Aints.

I’m honored to be named a Gates Foundation Scholar for ASU+GSV 2024! This fully funded opportunity lets me represent culturally responsive CS, HBCUs & Black brilliance in STEM. San Diego, here I come!

I was so confused when I saw this.

What’s the one R&B album from the 90s that you can listen to from intro to outro while lesson planning?
Don’t worry, I’ll go first.

Hey friend Hey!!👋🏾

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much, friend! I hope you enjoy it! I appreciate the support!!❤️🖤💚

I don’t understand why Black athletes don’t give their talent to Black colleges for this reason alone. Breaking your back for a college that had to be FORCED to admit Black ppl is crazy work.

At CSTA Equity in Action, Victor G. Hicks led “Formation: Using PBL to Code for Justice”, showing how culturally responsive computing & PBL empower students to use tech for equity & activism.
