In five years, Girls Who Code has reached 40,000 girls across all 50 states and have quadrupled the pipeline of female computer scientists. But how do we reach 1 million girls and change pop culture? Everywhere I go, I meet parents that ask me how their daughter can learn to code. So, we decided we needed to do something that would reach as many girls as possible and change the pop culture perception of what a female programmer looks like and does. With our fiction and nonfiction books, we’re doing just that. The books include explanations of computer science concepts using real life examples; 5 relatable characters and profiles of women in tech because you can’t be what you can’t see; and a graphic novel for visual learners.
