StudentRND is a non-profit organization which runs multiple programs to promote STEM education for middle school, high school and college students. The organization is based in Washington, and is a registered non-profit corporation there, with IRS 501(c)(3) designation;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IRS Designation Letter )〕 its main office serves as a hackerspace year-round and an incubator during the summer;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=StudentRND About Page )〕 however, its reach extends to major cities across the US with its CodeDay program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CodeDay )〕 According to the StudentRND website, the organization's goal is to "() students interested in coding, and stay interested in coding",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=StudentRND Homepage )〕 which is believed to be an effective method of increasing interest in STEM.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ISE creates bridges between youths’ everyday lives and the world of science to increase interest in STEM )〕 StudentRND has released (a study ) showing that more and more students are getting interested in CodeDay and programming.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Winter 2015: Best CodeDay Ever )〕 == CodeDay == StudentRND created the CodeDay program, which are 24-hour programming competitions run across the US every few months, usually on long weekends. The program is currently hosted in 27 cities nationwide,〔 focusing on areas traditionally underserved by tech education programs. Events are held at existing venues, typically local tech companies or co-working spaces, who provide the space for free in exchange for being listed as a sponsor. Other expenses are typically paid for by additional sponsors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CodeDay Organizer's Guide: Getting Started )〕 In exchange, sponsors are provided with recruiting opportunities. The events run 24 hours with pitches at the beginning and presentations at the end; many students program for the entire event. Students may come with pre-formed teams or form them at the event, but may not have completed work prior to the event. Aside from this restriction, the rules are much more lax than many hackathons, allowing projects of any sort in any programming language or framework. StudentRND and local volunteers promote CodeDay events at local high schools and colleges. Events are run by local volunteers under the guidance of facilitators—volunteers who have organized several events in the past.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Organize a CodeDay )〕 Organizers also contribute to an organizer guide,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CodeDay Guide )〕 which is provided to organizers in new cities to help promote experimentation at the events. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「StudentRND」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
