The founder and CEO of Girls Who Code wants girls to learn to embrace imperfection and perseverance.
After visiting numerous schools where the coding and robotics classes were filled with boys, Reshma Saujani couldn't stop thinking about the faces she hadn't seen.
So she did what any social equalizer would do. In 2012, she founded Girls Who Code, which has grown into a national movement. Today, more than 90,000 girls in all 50 states participate in the program, which aims to support and increase the number of women who work in computer science. The nonprofit says it is on track to achieve gender parity in tech fields by 2027.
Girls are socialized to be perfect, but not to take risks, Saujani says. Their fear of failure can hamper their potential. They learn, in effect, to stand in their own way.
