More about us
Megha is a sophomore at Yale University studying Computer Science (CS) and Economics. She is also a South Salem High alum! Mihir is currently a sophomore at South Salem High School and has done Computer Science projects starting in 6th grade. Megha and Mihir realized how many summer camps were being cancelled due to the current summer situation in their city and wanted to do something to help. The siblings are interested in finding a way to use their CS knowledge to help the Salem community and help kids gain some skills that are typically not supplemented in the classroom.
We hope to inspire more students in the community to think like coders and get some exposure to coding along the way. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about Code With Me!
