Girls Who Code is on a mission to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks likes and does.

This session will provide information on how your school can get involved.

Girls Who Code is a non-profit organisation dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology by teaching girls computer science, bravery, and sisterhood. Our programmes empower girls with the confidence, community, and technical skills they need to change the world. We’ve reached more than 185,000 girls to date and launched over 10,000 Clubs. Girl Who Code alumni are 15x more likely than their peers to study computer science and STEM at the post-secondary level. Our FREE Clubs programme in the UK complements homegrown initiatives and engages girls early in the pipeline with gender-specific programming at the grassroots level.

Girls Who Code Clubs are FREE programmes that get girls aged 11-18 excited about coding and computer science. Clubs can run before, during or after-school, on weekends or over the summer. In Clubs, girls engage in fun and simple online coding tutorials, build community through interactive activities, learn about inspiring female role models in tech, and work together to design solutions to real-world problems facing their communities. Clubs are led by volunteer facilitators. Anyone over 18 who is passionate about the movement is eligible to lead a Club, even if they have no experience with computer science.
