What is Girls Who Code?
Girls Who Code is a nonprofit organization which aims to support and increase the number of women in computer science. The organization was founded by Reshma Saujani in 2012, and it is working to close the gender gap in technology and change the image of what a programmer looks like and does.
What is CCA Girls Who Code?
We decided to launch a Girls Who Code club at Canyon Crest Academy in 2014 after being inspired by the organization's message. At CCA, we support girls that wish to pursue careers in technology and provide a space for them to explore their passions. Additionally, our all-girls, student-run robotics team, called the Ravenettes (Team 9837), is a branch of our Girls Who Code club that competes in the FIRST Tech Challenge.
