Background

The Girls Who Code 2021 Annual Report was a testament to the organization's remarkable achievements and commitment to advancing gender diversity in the tech industry. Underpinned by a bold vision, the report showcased the significant strides made towards achieving gender parity in new, entry-level tech jobs by 2030.

The image features the “Girls Who Code” logo in teal on the left, with the text "FIRST 10 NEXT 10" in bold blue font on the right. A curved teal line loops around part of the text "NEXT 10".
A colorful image showcasing a grid of ten vertical stripes, each a different color. From left to right: cream, light blue, teal, turquoise, teal-green, orange, red, royal blue, blue, and dark teal. The stripes create a vibrant and contrasting visual pattern.
Text on the left reads, "Since our founding ten years ago, Girls Who Code has been about more than teaching girls to code." To the right is a photograph of a smiling woman with curly hair leaning against a brick wall, framed with a teal border.
A group of five women, dressed in casual and business attire, gather around a laptop in a modern office space. They are smiling and appear to be engaged in a lively discussion or presentation. A large, round light fixture hangs above their table.

The challenge

The report highlighted the exceptional impact of the Girls Who Code movement, with over 14 billion online engagements serving as a testament to its global reach and influence. Impressively, the organization had already reached nearly half a million girls, women, and nonbinary students by 2021, with over 50% hailing from historically underrepresented groups in tech.

The report celebrated the achievements of the 115,000 Girls Who Code alumni, who were earning computer science and related degrees at a rate 7 times the national average, demonstrating the program's efficacy in propelling young women towards successful careers in technology.

Two colorful infographic panels. The left panel highlights "FIRST 10" and "NEXT 10" with photos of smiling individuals, and text about achievements and goals. The right panel outlines visionary goals for 2030, including reaching 14 billion students, with supporting statistics and images.

The report highlighted the multifaceted nature of Girls Who Code's programs, including Clubs, Virtual Summer Immersion Program, and Code From Home activities, which ignited early interest in computer science among young girls.

Additionally, the report underscored the organization's commitment to older students, with initiatives like College Loops, Work Prep, and Hiring Summits providing invaluable opportunities for career advancement in tech.
