                       Thursday, December 2, 2021

  Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Arkansas 
Coding Academy on their 5-year anniversary.
  Since its foundation in 2016, the Arkansas Coding Academy has 
provided roughly 300 students with the tools and resources needed to 
succeed in the rapidly growing tech industry and programing 
opportunities across central Arkansas.
  Individual courses typically last only four weeks, and the curriculum 
as a whole is typically completed in six to nine months.
  Their annual Demo Day provided students with the opportunity to show 
off their final projects while also having the opportunity to be 
recruited by hiring managers.
  The Arkansas Coding Academy develops skilled workers, and I am proud 
to have such an outstanding program in central Arkansas.
