NERCOMP Fitness Challenge
NERCOMP will be donating a portion of proceeds from the NERCOMP Fitness Challenge to Girls Who Code!
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
THE GENDER GAP IN COMPUTING IS GETTING WORSE.
In 1995, 37% of computer scientists were women. Today, it’s only 24%. The percentage 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.
GIRLS WHO CODE IS CHANGING THE GAME
We're reaching girls around the world and are on track to close the gender gap in new entry-level tech jobs by 2030.
