Catherine S.

As an avid STEM lover, Catherine found very little options for girls to learn and grow their passion in coding together. Breaking the stereotypes that science and technology is only for boys, Catherine founded Girls Learn Code. Girls Learn Code is a platform for girls to connect and learn together. Girls Learn Code showcases exemplary coding projects done by their members, introduces women in tech industry to inspire their members, provides learning resources, and organizes bi-weekly workshops. Currently Girls Learn Code has more than 700 members and the number keeps growing. They are mainly girls who have limited access to the opportunity and resources to study computer science. Catherine hopes to expand the reach of the programs and inspire more girls to not be afraid to follow their dreams, even if it means challenging the status quo.
