HowGirlsCode provides computer science education designed to inspire young girls in computer and engineering sciences. About History of HowGirlsCodeAcross all industries computational thinking is becoming as important a skill set as numeracy and literacy. To prepare our children for the jobs of the future we need computer science education both in and out of school. Despite making up half of our K12 student population and nearly 60 of college enrollments girls and women are far less likely than boys and men to study computing and earn degrees and careers in related fields.
