Today, 11 October 2020, CSforALL celebrates and showcases the work of our members that build, support and mentor computer science education systems for all girls across the nation.#DayoftheGirl
In the CSforALL community, ‘International Day of the Girl’ is the celebration of outstanding work from hundreds of organizations that drive change for gender equality in STEM across the nation. Together, our intergenerational activism on equity impacts individuals, classrooms, policies, and more as our CSforALL movement expands across the nation.
#DayoftheGirl is also a reminder that all education system decisions need to be made with girls.
As a member organization, we are proud to recognize a handful of members as they work to ensure every girl has access to high quality computer science education, see below:
