Girls Who Code

At the forefront of educational innovation, Girls Who Code is revolutionizing the tech landscape by systematically dismantling the gender gap in computer science. Through its groundbreaking programs, the organization is not just teaching girls to code; it is cultivating a new generation of female tech leaders and innovators poised to change the world. The core of its mission is to inspire, educate, and equip young women with the computing skills to pursue 21st-century opportunities. By creating a supportive and inclusive sisterhood, Girls Who Code provides a unique environment where bravery and resilience are fostered, empowering girls to tackle complex challenges and persist in a field where they have been historically underrepresented. This innovative approach extends beyond technical instruction, embedding mentorship and real-world exposure into the curriculum. Participants get an inside look at leading technology companies, interacting with female engineers and entrepreneurs who serve as powerful role models.

The organization’s technological and programmatic innovations are designed for maximum impact and scalability. Girls Who Code has developed a comprehensive suite of free programs, including after-school Clubs for 3rd-12th grade students, two-week virtual Summer Immersion Programs, and College Loops for university students. This multi-pronged strategy ensures that girls at every stage of their educational journey have access to high-quality computer science education. The curriculum is dynamic and project-based, allowing students to learn languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python while working on projects that are meaningful to them. By focusing on emerging fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data science, Girls Who Code is ensuring its students are not just prepared for today's tech jobs, but are also equipped to become the architects of tomorrow's technological advancements. The organization is on a clear trajectory to achieve gender parity in new entry-level tech jobs by 2030, fundamentally reshaping the industry to be more equitable and innovative.
