We want to teach girls at a young age to approach STEM subjects with confidence and curiosity.

why computer science? why are women
in computer science so important?

STEM occupations are growing faster than non-STEM occupations. Computer science makes up 60% of the projected STEM jobs and is projected to grow 13% by 2026. However, females study computer science at a significantly lower rate than males. Computer science is one of the only STEM occupations that has seen a decline in female representation. We believe in the importance of STEM, especially computer science. We believe that women must be a part of this movement.
