summary

Black Girls CODE sets a concrete goal to teach 1 million girls to code by 2040 and reports having served over 2,000 girls in two years through chapters in seven US states plus Johannesburg. Cites labor data of 1.4 million computing jobs by 2020 with only 30% currently filled and women of color at 3% of computing roles. Runs workshops, camps and hackathons, launches a New York chapter, and prototypes an app called Get Green while students gain presentation skills and product ownership.
