Why We Need Women Who Code

December 12, 2013

"Why code? Just look at the stats. According to Code.org, jobs in computer science are growing at two times the national average. By 2020, there are expected to be one million jobs in tech and programming.

"But while 57% of bachelor's degrees are earned by women, only 12% of computer science degrees are held by women. Resources are being upped across the board to help get non-scientifically minded individuals of all ages and genders involved in the emerging field, but many feel it's of utmost importance to extend an extra long arm to young women."
