ABOUT GIRLS WHO CODE
Girls Who Code is a national nonprofit organization leading the movement to inspire, educate, and equip girls with the computing skills to pursue 21st-century opportunities. Their mission is to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does.

WHO IS GIRLS WHO CODE FOR?
Girls Who Code clubs are designed for female participants, regardless of gender assignment at birth, and this series welcomes any age-appropriate member who wishes to join the Girls Who Code mission irrespective of gender identity. However, this club will keep the focus on girls and consider the biases that might impact their experience in technology pursuits.
