About Girls Who Code BU

Girls Who Code BU is a student organization dedicated to empowering individuals through technology education and professional development in Boston, MA. Operating at Boston University, the organization focuses on building essential technical skills while fostering a culture of bravery, resilience, and ambition among its members. Through comprehensive networking opportunities and skill-building workshops, Girls Who Code BU equips participants with the capabilities needed to confidently enter and advance within the technology industry.

The organization's approach combines three core pillars: developing technical competence, building supportive community connections, and driving meaningful change within the tech sector. Members benefit from hands-on training, mentorship from experienced professionals, and access to a network of peers committed to excellence in technology. Girls Who Code BU recognizes that diversity in ability, culture, identity, and perspective strengthens the entire organization and the broader tech community.

Beyond member development, Girls Who Code BU extends its impact to the Boston community by providing technology education and opportunities to youth who traditionally lack access to such resources. The organization is committed to not just preparing individuals for entry-level positions, but cultivating the next generation of tech leaders who will actively improve and transform the industry. By combining skill development with activism and community engagement, Girls Who Code BU creates pathways for underrepresented groups to establish meaningful careers in technology while contributing to positive industry-wide change.
