SCORES Labs is a technology-first initiative to leverage software and pro bono engineering talent to dramatically expand the organization’s impact and ability to provide services to more children and low-income communities.

SCORES Labs encompasses the organization’s game-changing partnership with MuleSoft and its strategic decision to become a data-informed and data-fluent organization.

“SCORES Labs allow us to organize open source software projects into discreet and achievable goals that can be worked on by talented volunteer developers,” explains SCORES Executive Director Colin Schmidt.

The first wave of projects in SCORES Labs focuses on data flow and data governance. Projects include tools to collect and share student poetry, support remote collaboration among students and coaches, and improve marketing and communication methods to coaches, parents, donors, and other stakeholders.

Through GitHub, SCORES can engage thousands of engineers eager to expand their skillsets and have their work reviewed and improved upon by their professional peers through a permanently tracked and recognized process.

SCORES Labs involve technology includes Mulesoft Anypoint and Dataweave, Salesforce and the Nonprofit Success Pack, Tableau, Github, Google Drive, Slack, Heroku, AWS Lambda, Node, iOS and AndroidOS, javascript, Typeform, Unity, and MongoDB to name a few.

Donations support critical hosting, tools, licenses, accessibility for front-line coaches and students, and core staff capacity.
