Since 2012, Girls Who Code has worked on breaking down barriers in tech and has served 760,000 girls, women, and nonbinary individuals. The organization reports 330,000 alumni who are college-aged or post-college aged, and its alumni go on to major in computer science at 5 times the national average. In 2024, Girls Who Code taught over 8,000 students about AI through its Summer Programs and has developed an AI curriculum that will reach over 200,000 students in the U.S. The organization has launched two new AI courses and a Data Science course and is reaching toward a goal of 5 million girls, women, and nonbinary individuals by 2030.
Girls Who Code states that it is committed to preparing students for in-demand jobs in emerging technology and AI and to changing the image of what a person in tech looks like by changing how culture embraces girls, women, and nonbinary individuals as future leaders in tech. It also states that it aims to make tech more welcoming to girls, women, and nonbinary individuals and will continue its legacy as an advocate of tech for good and a leading voice in fostering inclusion in emerging tech jobs. The organization has appeared at the Super Bowl with Olay, at Planet Her with Doja Cat, and in the Missing Code campaign that showed what the internet would look like without women coders.
The Chief Executive Officer of Girls Who Code is Dr. Tarika Barrett. Every year, major companies and philanthropic foundations sponsor Girls Who Code programs, and most partners host interactive events and mentorship. One alumna, Gloria Salas, shared that Girls Who Code inspired her to forge her own path, be a role model for students in underrepresented groups pursuing STEM, and grow as a community leader.
