Code First: Girls

Why aren't there more women in tech and entrepreneurship?

It's a complex issue, but here at Code First: Girls we do believe one thing - tech shouldn't just be a boys club.

We tackle the issue by doing three things:

One, we support young and working age women to develop further personal and professional skills. This includes technical skills in coding and programming as well as personal skills.

Free community courses

Masterclasses

Female professionals

Two, we connect women to a community of other talented and like minded women and companies who can support and accompany them through their professional development.

Three, we help companies train their people, recruit new people, and develop their talent management policies and processes so they don’t miss out on amazing female tech talent.

Community partnerships

We are a social enterprise, and raise our revenues through a combination of sponsorship and corporate services. All profits we make get plugged back into running the community activities we do with smart young women who want to build careers in tech and entrepreneurship.

Each year we run classes that teach 2000+ women how to code, for free. Over the past 3 years we've delivered
£2 million+ of free coding courses, and helped companies to recruit better tech talent into their firms.

Our community is now 5000+ strong, and is doing amazing things. Find out more by looking through our website and social communities, or just drop us a line at info@codefirstgirls.org.uk.
