WHO WE ARE
[ Hello.
/We're HashHackCode_
HashHackCode is an innovative tech education hub powered by a passionate team of educators, mentors, and coding enthusiasts. We believe technology should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background, age, or gender.
Through our inclusive programs and unique learning methodologies, we're transforming tech education. Our carefully designed curriculum empowers diverse minds with the essential skills of coding, unlocking a world of opportunity
[ Our STORY_ ]
HashHackCode began in 2019 with a simple, powerful mission: to make tech education accessible to everyone. Our founder, Manu Sekar, recognized that traditional learning models often exclude individuals with diverse cognitive abilities, limiting their opportunities in the tech-driven world.
Whether you're autistic, a senior citizen seeking new skills, or an individual with disabilities, coding can unlock a world of independence and opportunity. We believe technology should be an enabler, not a barrier, and we're here to make that vision a reality.

The fulfilling journey of budding and passionate coder Sadiq:
One day, I was watching my two-year-old son play around with a birthday gift that required him to put colorful rings inside pegs to match the number specified.

I was 33 years old when Alan was born. He had a flat nose, almond-shaped eyes, and short limbs. He looked like a doll. I felt blessed. A few hours later, I was told that he had Down's Syndrome and was born without an anus. Even before I could absorb what Down's Syndrome meant,

Aditya's journey of success in overcoming trials and tribulations:
