-- Girls Who Code has heard countless women talk about the challenges they’re facing: income limitations, lack of exposure to computer science, internships being canceled, and so much more. As an official partner of Girls Who Code, Dapper Dinos NFT recognizes the importance of female programmers and aims to help overcome these inequalities and improve the engineering community as a whole.
“We take the utmost pride in supporting Girls Who Code,” said Joe Fisher, developer at Dapper Dinos. “Now more than ever, there is a pressing need for entrepreneurial women in computer science, who will apply their unique perspective and skill set to find solutions to everyday challenges in ways never seen before. Empowering girls all over the country with the creative and technical abilities that come with learning to code will only help bolster a new era of thought-leaders and trailblazers inside the Technology space.”
Dapper Dinos’ contribution will help Girls Who Code expand their Pipeline program and enable over 450,000 girls to pursue their computer programming dreams. The program helps women foster ongoing connections, develop career-readiness skills, and build confidence, ultimately improving their persistence in CS. Girls Who Code does this by offering:
- Club programs: free after school curriculum to provide sisterhood activities and self-guided coding tutorials
- College Loops: college club not only for GWC alumni, but women majoring in CS/tech-related fields to participate in activities designed to build connections, leadership skills, and confidence in technical abilities.
- Virtual Mentoring: mentors and mentee pairs to build a 1:1 relationship over 6 months to establish healthy and impactful relationships
- GWC Talk Series: panel discussion that include CS/Tech experts to help guide women into their careers.
“At Girls Who Code, we understand that it’s not enough to foster a passion for computer science among girls and young women. We also need to build pathways to ensure that they are given equal access to opportunities that turn their interest into lucrative and exciting careers”, said Tarika Barrett, CEO of Girls Who Code. “We’re grateful for the support from Dapper Dinos as we work to close the gender gap in tech, level the playing field for our most marginalized students, and build a tech workforce that’s representative of the diverse world we live in today.”
With the involvement of Girls Who Code and Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), it’s hard to ignore the profound impact that computer science and specialized education programs have had not just on the founders and community of Dinos but the entire Crypto and Tech community. Many of us wouldn’t be where we are today without access to specialized computer science education. Dapper Dinos is excited to change the narrative of what an engineer looks like and help shape the future.
