What Codecraft Works does

Codecraft Works, LLC is a Melbourne, Florida-based educational technology company that delivers live, synchronous computer science and software engineering training through its cloud-based Codecraft Classroom platform. The platform integrates browser-based code editors, a learning management system with Google Classroom integration, real-time collaboration tools, and instructor dashboards for cohort pacing and intervention. Instruction is delivered by a near-peer mentorship model combining top-tier university students, graduates, and PhD candidates with experienced industry professionals, a methodology validated through a rare three-phase NSF SBIR award (Phase 1: 2016, Phase 2: 2018, Phase 2B: 2018) and research partnership with the UCF Department of Learning Sciences & Educational Research.

The company operates a multi-program portfolio serving four distinct customer segments: enterprise workforce development (SDE Pathway co-developed with Northrop Grumman, targeting aerospace and defense employers), workforce inclusion (LaunchIT partnership with BAC for individuals with disabilities and veterans, funded via WIOA and Vocational Rehabilitation), K-12 STEM (Meaningful Software Innovation, Web Works, and Codecraft Computer Programming Competitions for school districts and corporate family-benefit programs), and credentialed adult learners (Codecraft Institute, an FDOE-licensed post-secondary subsidiary offering diploma programs in software development, cybersecurity, and web accessibility). Revenue is generated through four streams: per-attendee workforce development contracts (approximately $5,500 per SDE Pathway attendee), Codecraft Institute tuition, white-label platform and curriculum licensing via a founding partner program, and freemium competition/program fees. Notable enterprise customers include Northrop Grumman, FieldCore (a GE Company), GE Vernova, Brevard Public Schools, BAC, Apprenti, and CareerSource BFV, with documented outcomes including a 95% SDE employment placement rate and a 95% LaunchIT graduation rate.

Codecraft Works is a privately held, founder-led Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) operating with 1-10 employees under CEO Shannon Landin. The company has not raised traditional venture equity; primary non-dilutive funding consists of approximately $1.1M in NSF SBIR grants across three phases. Strategic positioning combines regulatory credentials (WOSB certification, FDOE CIE License #13242, COPPA/FERPA/WCAG/Section 508 compliance) with documented outcome metrics to compete in employer-paid workforce development, federally funded inclusion programs, and platform licensing for training providers.
