Mission Statement

Girl Coders combats the gender gap by offering coding workshops to encourage girls to experience STEM. By introducing girls to STEM and building a supporting community, we foster girls to become industry leaders and create gender parity in STEM.

Description

Girll Coders is a program that combats the gender gap by offering entry-level coding workshops to encourage young girls in K-12 to experience STEM in positive, empowering ways. Any adult volunteer can host the workshop for free in their local community, such as through an after-school program or Girl Scout troop. No coding experience is necessary for the volunteers or girls; each workshop, available for a variety of popular and widely-used coding languages and tools, is designed to be accessible and self-contained. After completing a workshop, all girls receive an embroidered patch to wear on their uniforms or a sticker to proudly display on their laptop covers.
