CodeHoppers
Closing the gender gap in technology, one girl at a time.
"CodeHoppers" is an after-school club for middle and high school aged girls (ages 6th-12th grades) to explore computer science in a fun and friendly environment. No previous experience is required. We welcome all eligible applicants who have an interest in technology and a willingness to learn!
Why are our girls called "CodeHoppers"?
Our club is named after one of the most influential tech pioneers in the computer science industry, Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. Hopper, one of the first women to obtain a PhD in Mathematics, created a compiler that was a precursor to the COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) programming language while serving in the United States Navy. In 2016, Hopper was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contributions to the computing industry. Shortly following her death in 1992, computer scientist Anita Borg co-founded the "Grace Hopper Celebration", a gathering to highlight the contributions of women in computing. We are so grateful for Admiral Hopper and the trailblazer she was for girls in our industry! Photo from Vassar College.
