Technology is increasingly shaping the future of our lives and economies. By 2020 1.4 million jobs will be open in computing fields in the US, yet only about 30% of them will be filled with computing graduates, and only 3% of those will be filled by women. This is despite women using social media apps 600% more than men. Tomorrow’s software will shape how the future develops and our girls are getting left behind. Reshma Saujani founded ‘Girls Who Code’ to change how girls feel about computers and coding. She discovered that when girls are exposed to inspiring role models and real-life applications of computer science, they start to see coding as something they can do. Reshma wants to teach one million girls to code by 2020.

Crack the code to your future dreams

Since 2012, the organization Girls Who Code has been leading the charge to get girls interested in technology and coding. Now its founder, Reshma Saujani, wants to inspire you to be a girl who codes!

Bursting with dynamic artwork, down-to-earth explanations of coding principles, and real-life stories of girls and women working at places like Pixar and NASA, this graphically animated book shows what a huge role computer science plays in our lives and how much fun it can be. No matter your interest-sports, the arts, baking, student government, social justice-coding can help you do what you love and make your dreams come true.

Whether you’re a girl who’s never coded before, a girl who codes, or a parent raising one, this entertaining book, printed in bold two-color and featuring art on every page, will have you itching to create your own apps, games, and robots to make the world a better place.
