Expanding Strategic Partnerships Across the Code Ninjas System
Since joining Code Ninjas in March, Eulette has focused on building partnerships that extend learning beyond the dojo, creating opportunities for students to engage with the technologies, brands, and industries shaping the future.

"Some of the most impactful learning happens when students can see how their skills apply beyond the classroom," said Eulette. "We have an opportunity to connect students with the technologies, companies, and industries shaping the future, making coding and STEM education more engaging, relevant, and inspiring."

As part of this effort, Code Ninjas is exploring new opportunities that give students greater exposure to real-world applications of technology, including project-based experiences and potential collaborations with industry partners. These initiatives are designed to help students apply technical, creative and leadership skills while deepening engagement with the Code Ninjas learning journey

Driving Measurable Value for Franchisees and Families
Code Ninjas is already seeing momentum from partnership-driven initiatives, including a recent collaboration tied to a major streaming platform's upcoming STEM-focused production project. Through the activation, select Code Ninjas centers served as casting and engagement hubs for students interested in participating in the production, generating significant local interest and community engagement.

"These initiatives create value at every level of the system," said Eulette. "Families gain access to opportunities they can't find elsewhere, students see how the skills they're learning apply in the real world, and franchisees benefit from increased awareness, engagement and community connections."

With more than one million students served across 350+ locations in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, Code Ninjas continues expanding opportunities that blend coding, robotics and AI education with real-world experiences and industry exposure.
