Not only that: the gender gap in technology has actually been getting worse! Since the 1990s, the percentage of women employed in computer science is actually decreasing.This is especially concerning because computing is a large, expanding career field - one we know will create more jobs into the future. </font></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 1 em; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; !important;"><font color="#333333" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif" size="2">The founder of Girls Who Code, Reshma Saujani, writes that because personal computers were marketed almost exclusively to boys in the 1980s, <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3165153&ymlink=182817893&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fweb%2Ea%2Eebscohost%2Ecom%2Fehost%2Fdetail%2Fdetail%3Fvid%3D0%26sid%3D4b41e3a5%2D6e02%2D4876%2D847e%2Dff11fd72b033%2540sessionmgr4008%26bdata%3DJnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%253d%253d%23AN%3D124854098%26db%3Df5h">perceptions of what a computer scientist did and looked like changed for society as a whole</a>: “What began as an industry filled with women morphed into one where coders were nerdy guys working in a basement. Girls got the message and opted out in droves.” </font></span></p>

GWC offers training including after school coding clubs for girls grade 6-12, two week specialized summer courses for 6th -12th grade girls on a variety of topics, and seven week summer immersion programs for 10th -11th grade girls to learn coding and get exposure to jobs in the tech field. In these programs, young girls learn about the concepts that underly all programming - things like loops, variables, conditionals, and functions that can be applied to all programming languages no matter what kind of project they want to do, be it a website, app, robot, or drone. </font></span></p>

When GWC participants are ready to move on to college and careers, Girls Who Code is also there for them. At least 60 companies have pledged to hire GWC alumni and their website hosts a job and internship board for alumni in grades 11 and up. </font></span></p>
