ALISON BEARD: You’re hearing the voices of young women who are part of Girls who Code – a non-profit with a mission to close the gender gap in computer science. There have always been women in technology and women in computing, but things started really changing in the 1980’s, where in the 1980’s if you walked into any computer science classroom it would have been 40 percent girls and 60 percent boys. You walk into ours, there’s Black girls, there’s brown girls, there’s gay girls, there’s trans, there’s Muslim girls and these are young girls that have never actually met someone who didn’t look like them – any of them.
