We've had success!
In June, we toured the state of Tennessee with the goal of encouraging 100 girls to enter into computer science. Over 150 girls signed up to participate in our one-day, FREE workshops across 9 cities. We are now about to tour Tennessee and 7 additional states in the southeast!
That's 8 states...100 girls per state...over 800 girls introduced to computer programming!
Our first tour was a colossal success and we are anxious to introduce more young females to computer programming!
From a parent:
"My daughter, Inara, attended the 100 Girls of Code Nashville session today. It was wonderful. I can not thank you all enough for the opportunity. Inara really felt as if she learned a great deal and is now enthusiastic about doing and learning more.
Thank you so much."
Sincerely,
Kimi
From a student:
"I had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Coming to 100 Girls of Code's program inspired me to learn more about coding and making websites. Thank you 100 Girls of Code for teaching me how much fun coding can be."

The Impact
The U.S. Labor Department estimates that there will be 1.4 million job openings for computer-related occupations in the next ten years. Of the STEM fields, Computer Science and Computer Engineering have the highest median earnings for recent college graduates without advanced degrees. Currently, the median annual salary for a Computer Science degree ranges from $80,000 to $100,000. Only 12% of these positions are held by women. We are going to change this!
