About Girls Who Code
Girls Who Code empowers young women by teaching them coding skills to help close the gender gap in technology. The organization offers free summer programs and after-school clubs specifically designed for teenage girls, creating a supportive environment for them to learn and explore coding. Unlike many other tech education initiatives, Girls Who Code focuses solely on young women, aiming to change the perception of who can be a programmer and to build a large community of future female engineers. Their goal is to provide accessible and engaging coding education, collaborating with schools and corporations to deliver over 8,500 programs worldwide. Funding comes from partnerships and sponsorships with major companies, which support their free educational offerings and help raise awareness about women in tech.
