3rd Annual Country Girls Can Code!

Here at Techs4Tex Foundation (501c3), we're passionate about giving girls in rural communities the same educational opportunities that girls in more populated areas receive.  We want our "country girls" to be able to choose a career that's right for them, which means they need to explore career paths that they may not see in their typical life, but would excell at if given the opportunity. One of the most sought after skills right now in the American work force is the ability to write code for programming the multitude of electronic products and devices that are in use in our everyday lives.

We are planning our Third Annual Country Girls Can Code Day, scheduled for Saturday, January 27, 2018, in Austin, Texas. Partnering with Women Who Code Austin, we plan to host 50 high school girls from rural areas (and school sponsors) to give them hands-on experience with writing computer code.

Working with women in high tech careers, these high school girls will learn about career options that they would not get exposure to in their school or community. Giving these students an opportunity to explore this career path means future economic opportunity and independence for themselves and may also provide economic stability for their families.
