Did you know...

In the U.S. alone, there are currently over 2.4 million open STEM jobs. The perspectives of girls and women are vital across these fields, yet the gender gap persists due to stereotypes and societal factors.

  • Over 50% of the U.S. population is female, yet women make up only 12% of computer science undergrads. (Code.org)
  • Women comprise nearly half the U.S. labor force but hold only 4.6% of top leadership positions. (Catalyst.org)
  • Girls’ interest in STEM peaks in middle school and drops off during high school due to social factors and a lack of access. (Girls Who Code)

In recent years, we've grown our population of girls at camp from 12% to 25%. With your help, we'll continue pursuing 50/50 gender parity, ultimately creating the largest pipeline of girls for STEM careers.

What we know

Learning coding and engineering takes mentorship, practice, and follow-up. Learning to code by yourself is less effective.

Mastery, whether of a foreign language, a professional sport, or coding, cannot be accomplished in one hour. 

Every student, regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic status, can learn to code and thrive professionally if given the opportunity for long-term skill development.

Engaging experiences that are tailored to students' interests will foster a love for technology and deliver the best outcomes.  

Our summer programs provide the ideal environment for students of all experience levels and backgrounds to build in-demand skills and spark lifelong passions.
