Mission

Girls Computing League works to empower underrepresented groups in technology by fostering the interests of girls in computer science and technology.

We help girls experience, first-hand, that they can be problem solvers and make a social impact by using learning and using technology through our workshop programs.

We empower teachers and educators through professional development sessions, funding for afterschool clubs and internet, and more.
