Van Jones and Andi Lichtenfeld (Magic Labs Media) came to Code for Life’s South Bronx Incubator on February 4th, 2026! We are so grateful for the two hours of time they spent getting to know our students, learning about Code for Life, and casting a vision for our students! Students enjoyed sharing their projects and some laughs. Very fun! Van shared about his life, ingredients to success, and cast a vision for what is possible in life! We are so thankful for Van spending the time getting to know our students! His time and words meant a lot to everyone!
