Girls Who Code

GWC Final Logo Teal

Girls Who Code is dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology, with the goal of reaching 5 million girls, women, and nonbinary individuals by 2030. Our mission is to inspire, educate, and champion girls, women, and nonbinary people, with a special focus on historically underrepresented groups, to become changemakers in tech. We are committed to increasing access to the technology field for all, equipping the next generation to thrive in emerging fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and other transformative technologies shaping the 21st century.

The Tech Industry is Rapidly Changing

In a world where technology is evolving at lightning speed, job security and economic mobility depend on one thing: the ability to adapt. We are approaching an age where students can no longer rely on entry-level coding as a straightforward path to a career in tech — they also need to be trained in cybersecurity and emerging technologies like AI to be competitive.

Girls Who Code is committed to preparing our students for in-demand jobs in emerging technology and AI, ensuring that they keep in pace with a rapidly changing tech industry.

By making our programs and mission known, we’re igniting young people’s interest in computer science.
