“start by empowering a girl you know”

8 ways you can empower girls to learn coding

1. Know the specific barriers we need to overcome.
2. Start with concrete first steps in your own life.

The lack of women and girls in computer science is a well-documented problem. Now it’s time for the average person to finally do something about it.

Addressing the issue of girls and coding in your community doesn’t require you to start your own nonprofit or advocacy organization. In fact, you can start very small, like choosing to empower a girl you know.

3. Find organizations putting in the work already.
4. Be a role model.
5. Encourage your local school to teach girls how to code.
6. Lead a coding club for girls.
7. Recognize that computer science is an intersectional issue.
8. Understand where girls need to begin, too.
