Part how-to, part girl empowerment, and all fun, from the leader of the movement championed by Sheryl Sandberg, Jack Dorsey, and other giants of tech.

Since 2012 the organization Girls Who Code has taught computing skills to and inspired over 10,000 girls across America. Now its founder, Reshma Saujani, wants to inspire you to be a girl who codes! Bursting with down-to-earth explanations of coding principles and real-life stories of girls and women working at places like Pixar and NASA, this book 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 and make your dreams come true. Whether you're a girl who's never coded before, a girl who codes, or a parent raising one, this entertaining audiobook will have you itching to create your own apps, games, and robots to make the world a better place.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

5.0 out of 5 stars A way forward for underserved/disadvantaged young girls
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2020

This isn't a book about how to code. Instead, the emphasis is on WHY learning to code is so important, and how awesome projects can be conceived and completed by girls who know how to code, so it's more motivational than technical. As a donor to an organization that serves homeless preschoolers, elementary age children and youth, I am excited to encourage staff to start a Girls Who Code club. The barrier is having enough computers, so I'm looking for assistance in providing the necessary equipment. In my opinion, any organization that works with low-income families and youth can enrich their programs significantly by sponsoring Girls Who Code clubs. Perhaps equipment could be donated, purchased through the help of service organizations, or obtained through a grant from a non-profit such as United Way. According to the Girls Who Code website, instructors do not need to be coders or computer experts, as a curriculum and support are provided to each club. That said, it might be helpful to recruit tech savvy high school or college students to act as instructors or instructional assistants Club benefits extend into college mentoring and even post-education job placement, according to website information. Every child in poverty deserves the opportunity to achieve at high levels and to enter the work force having mastered skills that are much in demand. Girls Who Code may well be the way forward for underserved/disadvantaged young girls.

If you, your child (of any gender) or basically anyone you know is interested in learning 'to code' - get them this book! It's a brilliant, easy to read, entertaining, and highly educational book. This encapsulates the idea of learning the logic of computer programing independently of any particular language - a brilliant way to teach the basics. The incorporation of the fictional GWC (Girls Who Code) girls from the fiction books adds a fun twist to help move the reader from chapter to chapter. This helps motivate and connect the content and makes this an engaging read rather than a textbook. The quality of information, however, makes it the best 'intro to coding' textbook for this age group I've ever seen. Highly recommend.

I am a woman who has been in the software industry for almost 20 years. I have seen the lack of women in this field and I wonder why. This book was recommended to me by a coworker as a great gift for girls. My 12 year old granddaughter really liked it and seemed excited to read it. I would be thrilled if she got interested in coding, but even if she just dabbles for fun it will be good for her to realize that no field is off limits to her because she is a girl.

I bought this book after hearing about it from friends and reading rave reviews. I have an almost 6-year old who told me the other day she "loves" this book - although I think it's for the high school age demographic, I love that my daughter will pick it up and read it a bit at a time. She is learning about something I can't teach her about firsthand, and which will undoubtedly become central to education for her generation. I hope that it inspires her to learn to code - and I love that she is growing up thinking that this is something that "girls just do".

This book is wonderful introduction to computer science for girls who are totally new to coding. It offers a book version of basic coding principles taught in the actual Girls Who Code programs and was written by the founder herself. I highly recommended buying it for girls so they can be introduced to CS and really feel inspired to do amazing things in STEM! Reshma Saujani's book will have girls running to the closest computer to start coding! The graphics are adorable, and you are bound to be impressed by it!

Reading Reshma Saujani's book was so much fun for me! It gave interesting history of computers and explained all the introductory concepts of coding sufficiently. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is looking to gain an introduction to computer science or is trying to encourage a young girl to do so.

I first heard about this group and author during a CBC radio show. I got this book for my daughter (just turned 11) , and I think I've created (or at least fed) a monster.. now she is coding Arduino robots and LOOOOOVES coding. She already loves reading, and the story in the the series "The Friendship Code" is what drew her in.

This was a big hit with an 11year old girl. She devoured it in a weekend. It's inspired her to join the school coding club and her obvious interest in the book has piqued the interest of her 9year old sister, who has now started asking about coding.
