Code/Art Mission
Code/Art is on a mission to increase the number of girls in computer science by delighting and inspiring them with the creative possibilities of computer programming.
The Problem
The percentage of women in CS has been decreasing since the 1980s, even while jobs have been increasing. A big reason why is the lack of early coding programs that are welcoming to girls.
How We Help
Code/Art provides the education, skill-building and support that closes the gaps preventing girls from entering, learning and succeeding in computer science fields.
