“Girls Who Code”
By 2020, 1.3 million spots will be opening up involving coding, but only 3% will be taken up by girls. Girls Who Code is a club that tries to get more girls interested in coding and other computing jobs. Women in general in power positions don't get a lot of attention so examples of what young girls don't typically see is great. It doesn't cost to attend the weekly meetings, and for students who can't afford to buy a laptop, then one will be provided. Another benefit for girls who attend the club, or anyone who identifies as a girl, can put it on their resume and use their coding skills to break into the industry. This program really gets girls interested in computer-based jobs, and centers around female students succeeding in careers which are mainly taken up by with men.
