CodeYourSelf™ 2026

CodeYourSelf™: My Story, My Roots is a vibrant collection of original digital artwork created by talented young female and non-binary students from around the world who use computer programming as a powerful tool for creativity and self-expression. Inspired by this year's theme, My Story, My Roots, the book celebrates the unique identities, cultures, and experiences that shape who we are. Through their artwork, students share personal stories, honor their heritage, and bring their imaginations to life one line of code at a time. Published annually, this coffee table book showcases outstanding artwork from CodeYourSelf™, Code/Art's signature coding competition, selected by a panel of industry judges from the fields of art, technology, and education. More than a collection of artwork, My Story, My Roots reflects Code/Art's mission to increase the number of girls pursuing computer science by making coding creative, accessible, and inspiring. The project empowers young creators worldwide to build confidence, express their individuality, and discover new possibilities through code.
