Black Girls CODE
Closing the opportunity gap for Black women and girls by establishing equal representation in the tech sector through computer programming and technology.
Partner:

About the project:
By creating an online platform that hosts guided modules with culturally-responsive and representative STEM content, girls will build tangible skills in computer programming. They will work on educational and entertaining projects with mentors that look like them and break the mold of overrepresentation of male hosts in coding videos.
About the organization:
Black Girls CODE builds pathways for Black girls to embrace tech as builders and creators, by introducing them to skills in computer programming and technology.
