How do we help get girls involved in your organization?
We teach girls computer science, so we have wonderful programs that start as early as third grade where you can be a part of a Girls Who Code Club by just going on to our website girlswhocode.com, you can [also] start a club in your community. We often have, you know teachers, librarians, universities, and community centers who want girls to be successful in tech and start that kind of club. We also have programs at the college level, and most recently have developed workforce development programs. [This is] because we know that we’ve taught 450,000 girls to code, now 90,000 of them are college-age and workforce age and we’re trying to make sure to cement their pathway into the tech industry. So we have all of this direct programming. We’ve also recognized that we have to change the image of what a computer programmer looks like and does. So we have things like board books for babies so that the minute you come out of the womb, you can see that you can be a technologist.
