Friday Series: Fantastic Females One

Hello!

Welcome to S.T.E.M. Now's first Fantastic Females series post!
(For an introduction to the series, click here).

Today we will be featuring: Reshma Saujani, founder/CEO of Girls Who Code.

Girls Who Code is a nonprofit organization encouraging girls to learn coding, through summer programs and clubs high schoolers can start. The summer programs boast success too: 90% of participants went on to study Computer Science (CS); 77% changed paths (towards CS); and 92% taught another person how to code. All Summer Immersion Programs are open to current high school sophomores and juniors + require an application. 

Reshma Saujani also has written a book: Women who Don't Wait in Line: Break the Mold, Lead the Way. Additionally, she has held a Ted Talk.

See you next Friday for Fantastic Females Two!
