About
Boolean Girl is a 501c3 nonprofit where kids code, build, invent, and animate through computer science and engineering projects. The program includes coding with Scratch, a free platform developed by MIT, so students can code their own interactive stories, animations, and games. Students work on engineering projects and learn to be creative and think strategically while troubleshooting problems and working collaboratively with their peers. The program offers girls-only and co-ed classes, camps, online education, and an all-girls Clubhouse.
• Ages: 8–14 years old
Boolean Girl was founded in 2014 and serves underrepresented youth, including girls and students from low-income households. The organization focuses on girls and other underrepresented and low-income kids in elementary and middle school. It offers in-person and virtual computer science education in a collaborative and welcoming environment and runs a speaker series in addition to its educational programs. Boolean Girl describes its educational programs as award-winning.
The leadership and governance team includes Co-Founders Brian Moran and Sarah Eastman, and Board Members Sweta Sinha, Jennifer Ives, Nell Varghese-Patil, Maria Izurieta, and Cathy Burton. Staff and leaders describe themselves as parents and engineers, educators, and nonprofit leaders.
Boolean Girl has expanded its reach into underserved and lower-income communities to provide access to STEM opportunities for elementary and middle-school age children. Through its micro:bit for All program, the organization brings coding into schools by providing free micro:bit kits, lesson plans, and coaching, and works with educators to integrate coding with Scratch and other programs into courses such as science and math. The organization notes that, by combining its educational programs with its speaker series and partnerships with supporters, students learn coding and engineering skills.
A camper shared, “I loved the camp! I did not know how to code half of the things I can code now! The camp helped me a lot.” Another student, a 6th grader from Alexandria, Va, said, “The Clubhouse is so much fun. I like that it is all girls. I learned a lot and made new friends.”
