Coding Girls
Coding Girls is a global award winning platform dedicated to closing the gender gap in Technology.
THE PROBLEM
Technology is the 21st centuries’ job driver, yet girls are under-represented in technology-related jobs. While in early age the interest is almost equal, the biggest decline happens once they become teenagers.
THE MISSION
Coding Girls started as a small workshop with 16 girls and a boy and turned into an exciting journey with the aim to start Coding Girls Communities (CGCs) all over the world.
Their mission is to empower girls to get started in coding and to increase the number of women in technology, leadership and entrepreneurship.
Their key focus is to prepare girls to become the role models of the next generation in order to shift the paradigm and to create a balance.

An inclusive and diverse world with females as tech innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs who make a positive change with the help of code.
