'Computer science is everything,' and Code.org is on a mission to prove it with a vibrant new campaign that challenges the outdated belief that coding isn’t for girls. Timed to International Women’s Day, the initiative highlights how technology fuels every passion -- from fashion to film, sports to social justice -- encouraging young women to see themselves in the ever-evolving world of computer science.
A hero film directed by Amy Rice and Magdalena Luna spotlights young women using AI and coding in unexpected, creative ways. The campaign expands across social media with an interactive quiz, a partnership with Refinery29 featuring inspiring women in tech, and hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity.
'This campaign helps girls see that coding isn’t just for certain types of people, it’s for anyone who dreams big,' said Sarah Morrison, SVP of marketing at Code.org. By blending modern aesthetics with empowerment, Code.org is redefining the face of tech and ensuring that girls don’t get left behind in the AI revolution.
