Since 2012, Girls Who Code has taught computing skills to and inspired over 10,000 girls across America. Now Reshma Saujani wants to inspire you to be a girl who codes! Girls Who Code:  Learn to Code and Change the World shows what a huge role computer science plays in our lives and how much fun it can be. No matter your interest—sports, the arts, baking, student government, social justice—coding can help you do what you love. It’s part how-to, part girl-empowerment, and all fun 

Perfect for aspiring coders everywhere.
