About Us
About Us
Girls Who Code Savannah mission is to close the gender gap in technology and STEM related careers. We do this by creating a fun, engaging and safe space for girls* to join a sisterhood of supportive peers and role models, and use Computer Science to change the world. Volunteer instructors provide a learning environment where young women are introduced to fundamental principles, technologies and skills associated with computer programming and Internet technologies.
We are the original chapter in Savannah of the larger, national Girls Who Code organization. We are hosted by Savannah's Creative Coast business incubator, which allows us to include girls from all of Chatham County public middle schools. We run a range of programs including classes throughout the school year, and special workshops in partnership with other institutions in Savannah, including the Jepson Center for the Arts, and University of Georgia's Marine Education Center.
*GWC Savannah includes individuals who were borne born female, but do not identify as female, and those who were not born female but identify as such.
