Our Mission

boulder.codes is a loose, fun organization with a bold vision: to transform the developer experience across the Front Range! We're here to make coding more joyful, collaboration more energizing, and tech communities more vibrant. We're not just another meetup — we're a creative collective connecting diverse communities and amplifying what makes Boulder's tech scene special.

Community Vibes

We build spaces where developers feel welcome, inspired, and connected. Our events spark friendships, collaborations, and the kind of creative energy that makes Boulder special.

Developer Joy

We're on a mission to make coding more enjoyable! Through creative events, skill-sharing, and developer-centered thinking, we're redefining what makes a great developer experience.

Creative Cross-Pollination

We mix different technologies, communities, and perspectives to spark innovation. The magic happens when React devs meet Python data scientists and hardware hackers!
