GIRLS WHO CODE CELEBRATES 10 YEARS!

In March, our National Service Partner Girls Who Code celebrated 10 years! To recognize this achievement, they hosted a weekend-long CodeFair event that encouraged attendees to “discover, play, and engage their imagination using technology’s most thrilling innovations,” including coding.

National President Jamie Jones Miller (Psi 1995/James Madison) and National Vice President Katherine P. Onyshko (Delta Phi 2006/NYU) attended the CodeFair’s opening night party. They heard from several speakers, including Girls Who Code’s CEO Dr. Tarika Barrett, about the persistent gender gap in STEM and how we can work to empower women in STEM fields. Several leaders in tech fields and Girls Who Code alumni were presented with awards for their accomplishments during the evening!

The CodeFair ultimately marked Girls Who Code’s achievements in the last decade – they remain on track to close the gender gap in entry-level tech jobs by 2030. They also used this event to set a new goal: reach 1 million Girls Who Code students in the next decade.

Let’s support our National Service Partner’s goals by:
