The Latest From Code Savvy - Women's History (and Future) Month
March is Women’s History Month, and as you know, there have been incredible contributions to the world that have been made by women.
This month, we challenge you to think more about women’s FUTURES.
Through programs like Technovation Girls and Rebecca Code Explorers, Code Savvy is making space and giving a voice to female students in many communities who are interested in leaving their mark in the field of computer science and technology.
We provide opportunities to get hands-on experience, with awesome industry mentors, as they explore new platforms and languages. As well as one-on-one mentoring as they make decisions about continuing that exploration through College and Career.
We partner with groups like Girls Who Code and the Minnesota Women in Tech to bridge those tech gaps and create pathways to becoming the tech leaders of the future.
But we can’t do this important work without your help:
You could make a donation today.
Become a mentor for our programs.
Volunteer to be a judge or organizer for one of our special events.
There are so many ways that you can help us fortify the pathways for our future women in tech.
