ORLANDO - Aaron Gordon, who is getting ready to start his sixth season with the Orlando Magic, is on a mission to empower youth and broaden their minds through technology, innovation and collaboration.
With enormous support from his mother, Shelly Davis Gordon, and several Orlando-based organizations, the 23-year-old’s first attempt at achieving this long-term goal was, by far and away, a huge success.
On Friday, Aug. 2, the 6-foot-9 forward was on hand to congratulate the 31 teenagers graduating from the Gordon Family Giving Foundation’s inaugural CodeOrlando camp, which introduced the students from various Orlando schools to coding, robotics and nanotechnology.
