@mamoonha Thank you!

[Reshma Saujani @reshmasaujani]

The largest summer coding program for girls globally — that's what we've been working on behind the scenes @GirlsWhoCode team. And I'm SO proud. It's virtual, free, and most importantly — accessible for the highest-need girls. Low tech? No tech? No problem.

This teen @GirlsWhoCode alum organized 250+ people from around the world to 3D print PPE for frontline health care workers (In partnership with @TIMESUPNOW #TIMESUP)

We must design a future that is shaped by women and girls—that realizes their rights and aspirations to a world where equality is a reality.

It's time for a generation of equals to lead with dignity and hope.

#WomensDay
#GenerationEquality

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Today is #InternationalWomensDay and we recognise that women are still far from equal to men in today’s societies.
We can not have climate justice without gender equity.

And remember; what we women want today - and every day- is equality, not congratulations or celebrations.

#KatherineJohnson "... gave us a new perspective on our planet, a view of earth from space. And she gave us a new perspective on ourselves: on whom we let in, whom we allow to thrive, whom we write into our history books." - @reshmasaujani

We've gone international! One of our first countries we expanded to was Canada!

Our CEO @reshmasaujani's featured in @BayStBull talking about how we are working to help close the gender gap in Canada! 🇨🇦

2019: Katie Bouman alongside the data that got us to the black hole

[Girls Who Code @GirlsWhoCode]

To close the gender gap in computer science, we need to start by exposing kids to more women tech role models, but 70% of Canadian said they grew up with none. Thanks to @WinnipegSun + @scottbilleck for covering our report and helping lead this conversation! @reshmasaujani

[LZHS Girls Who Code @LZHSGWC]

Girls Who Code has expanded from coding activities to include electrical projects as well! Check out our color-changing lightbulb built with Elegoo kits and coded with Arduino!
