Code Girls United Gives Girls a Leg Up in Tech

In this episode, we visit with Marianne Smith, CEO of Code Girls United, who recently received a grant from the Montana Women for Good Grapevine giving circle to help 4th to 8th grade girls see tech as a viable career option. Hear how the organization is overcoming geographic isolation, economic challenges, and gender stereotypes to provide girls with various STEM programs, including after-school computer science courses, Summer camps, Apps challenges, and scholarships. Learn how more than 600 girls per year gain hope and confidence as they apply innovative technology solutions to real-world issues facing their local communities and inspire a greater understanding of how technology impacts their daily lives. Discover how individuals can join together in a Grapevine giving circle, such as the Montana Women for Good, to support local causes that benefit underserved communities. Hosted on Acast.
