About Coding Girls
We’re a global, award-winning non-profit dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology.
The problem
Technology is the 21st century’s job driver, yet girls are under-represented in technology-related roles. In early childhood the interest is almost equal — the biggest decline happens once girls become teenagers.
The mission
Coding Girls started as a small workshop with 16 girls and a boy, and grew into a journey to start Coding Girls Communities (CGCs) all over the world.
Our mission is to empower girls to get started in coding and to increase the number of women in technology, leadership and entrepreneurship. Our key focus is to prepare girls to become the role models of the next generation — to shift the paradigm and create balance.
Our vision
An inclusive and diverse world with women as tech innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs who make a positive change with the help of code.
Our values
- Inclusion — everyone matters, and matters equally.
- Support — creating a culture of friendliness and understanding.
- Empowerment — if you are willing to learn, we are willing to show the way.
- Diversity — our differences spark innovation.
- Courage — acting with courage to shape the future we want to be part of.
- Teamwork — together we can.
- Making a difference — a positive change in the world with the help of code.
