Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek) is an annual effort dedicated to inspiring K-12 students to take interest in computer science (CS). Launched in December of 2009, CSEdWeek celebrates the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Hopper and reaches tens of millions of students in 180+ countries.
Join the growing number of schools and educators in NYC bringing computer science to their students by hosting an Hour of Code or other CS community event during the first week of December.
Girls Who Code was founded five years ago with the belief that computing skills are a critical path to security and prosperity in today’s job market. What began with 20 girls in the heart of New York City, Girls Who Code will reach 40,000 girls in all 50 U.S. states by the end of this year.
The demographic of Girls Who Code is the demographic of our nation. From Clubs in rural Oklahoma, to homeless shelters in Massachusetts, to the country’s most prestigious private schools—girls everywhere are united by their passion to use technology to solve problems in their day-to-day lives and make a positive impact on the world.
At Girls Who Code, we believe the gender gap in technology is an issue we must all come together to solve. With your support, we will continue to build a future where our next generation of girls and boys will prosper through creativity, through bravery, and through teamwork.
