 Coding
is
not
lonely
or
mathema0cal.
More
like
learning
a
new
language
and
wri0ng
 something
that
affects
millions.
Much
like
literacy.

on,
minds
on.
We’re
building
an
interna0onal
community
of
volunteers
with
an
 open
source
stack
of
coding
curriculum
to
teach
technology.
We
want
to
give
girls
 confidence
and
a
global
network
in
technology.
 Boys
are
also
welcome
and
the
name
”girl”
is
just
a
detail.
