A colorful "25" logo celebrates 25 years of coding and community for "i.c.stars" on a white background.

i.c.stars has been finding, training, and putting talent to work for the last 25 years, and our impact continues to grow. This year, we’re celebrating the last 25 years and looking towards the future. We hope that you follow along with our summer campaign to reminisce over the past quarter-century at i.c.stars and help us continue to expand our galaxy in the future.

Have you seen how we’ve grown through the years?

55 cycles in Chicago,

and we’re still growing.

Follow along our summer campaign to hear stories, learn about our impact and support all the big plans we have for our galaxy!
