In 2017 MaCES became a new school and with a new school there are new clubs and extracurriculars. 2017 was the start of the Girls Who Code sisterhood here at MaCES. We started out with so many members, and each one of them did so much for the sisterhood. Together as classmates, friends, and sisters, we were all able to build bonds and break barriers in computer science.
Planning our goals for the year!
What We Do
Girls Who Code is on a mission to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does.
In 1995, 37% of computer scientists were women. Today, it’s only 24%. The percent will continue to decline if we do nothing. We know that the biggest drop off of girls in computer science is between the ages of 13 and 17.
These are the values that define our organization.
Bravery: We believe being brave is about being resilient, persistent, and ambitious.
Sisterhood: We believe that diverse ability, culture, identity, and opinion makes our organization stronger.
Activism: We’re not just preparing our girls to enter the workforce - we’re preparing them to lead it, to improve it, to completely and totally transform it.
