Goodgirls Write Code is devoted to empowering students with the computer science skills needed to prepare for future careers. We are determined to encourage children to learn how to write their first program using scripts and animation; develop their first website using HTML, CSS and JavaScript; and design a 3D printed object.
Our intermediate and advanced programming students in middle and high schools will learn: Java, Python, JavaScript and C++ programming languages. Goodgirls Write Code graduate students have an academic advantage in STEM fields granting them access to academy programs and scholarships they would not be otherwise awarded.

Like wealth, poverty is passed down from one generation to the next, driven by racial inequity, underinvestment, and structural barriers in our communities.
With an emphasis on professional development and innovative use of technology, Girls For Technology is breaking the cycle for generations to come.
Includes K-12 program and business pitch competition for BIPOC women across Connecticut.

Digital Girl, Incorporated was founded in 2014 by Executive Director, Michelle Gall a Digital Marketing and Branding Professional. Our mission is to encourage inner city youth, especially girls to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. We are motivated by the United States overall lag in producing an adequate number of STEM professionals and the under representation of women and people of color. We are based in Bedford Stuyvesant.
Across all industries, computational thinking is becoming as important a skill set as numeracy and literacy. To prepare our children for the jobs of the future, we need computer science education both in and out of school. Despite making up half of our K-12 student population and nearly 60% of college enrollments, girls and women are far less likely than boys and men to study computing and earn degrees and careers in related fields.
The founders of HowGirlsCode saw the statistics as an opportunity. Together, they used their shared passion for improving educational opportunities for girls to develop an after-school computer science class. The weekly sessions included "unplugged" games, block programming activities, and a guest speaker series that gave the girls inspiration and information about the varied careers in which computer science plays a role. HowGirlsCode later added a summer camp program to provide even more access to girls interested in coding and robotics. In just five years, HowGirlsCode has held more than 100 after-school courses and five summer camp sessions, educating and engaging more than 1,000 girls in computer science. With the dedication of our instructors, passion of our volunteers, involvement of our partners and support of our generous donors, HowGirlsCode continues to encourage elementary-age girls to see a place for themselves in the world of computer science, and to see a place for computer science in their worlds.

Website down. Focus on Gainesville area. Less than a fifth of technical roles are held by women in part due to fewer women joining STEM fields, and in large part due to many women leaving. Our goal is to bring women technologists together so they can share their experiences with others, connect, and stay inspired!
Girls Dream Code is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization aiming to empower young minority and low-income girls to pursue an interest in technology by providing free tech workshops, events & resources.

Technovation Chapters
Since 2010, more than 34,000 girls from 100+ countries have created apps to solve community problems. With the help of volunteer mentors, they've produced mobile app startups that have helped address problems in local and global communities the world over. And while each year more and more teams take up the challenge, we know that there are always more problems to solve - and that there are people from every part of the world ready to solve them.
Previously held in San Jose at San Jose Theater in 2018.

We recognize our institutions do not adequately prepare nor create access to high quality STEM learning and career paths that center BIPOC girls. TBG is focused on one thing - re-engineering STEM education so girls are inspired and prepared to persist toward their STEM aspirations. We equip and galvanize out-of-school time (OST) educators and STEM professionals, with the equity training and curricula that empowers them to act as catalysts for our girls*.

Help us build the workforce the world needs Founded in San Francisco in 2007, at the start of the tech boom, we saw a real need for spaces dedicated to underrepresented voices throughout the industry. It's been our commitment, since day one, to make every voice heard. You can help us do it - and elevate your own brand at the same time.
