The Idea

Girls Who Code is an international non-profit organization working to close the gender gap in technology, and leading the movement to inspire, educate, and equip young women with the computing skills needed to pursue 21st-century opportunities.

GWC clubs can be hosted in-person or virtually. Clubs provide members with a sisterhood of supportive peers and role models, and an opportunity to use their skills to positively impact their community. They are led by volunteer Facilitators, who use our free curriculum, prepared lesson plans, and other resources provided by GWC on our learning platform, HQ.

ChangeX and GWC have teamed up with Microsoft to support community leaders in Southern Virginia to get more girls coding. Sign up here to get started
