Sammy Lowdermilk, Co-Founder of 100 Girls of Code
See what I did there? As many of you know, we are opening "100 Girls of Code" chapters in various locations across the U.S. We have three chapters as of today- Nashville, TN; Columbia, SC; and Lake Oswego, OR. We will open a fourth next week and are organizing several more with various organizations.
We started this initiative last year with eleven stops across Tennessee. in 2015, we are taking on a bigger endeavor to tour not only Tennessee, but seven other states across the southeast. The tour will be a HUGE undertaking for us and, honestly, a pretty big budget item. I would love to tour the entire U.S., but eight is all we can handle right now. In turn, we are asking for help. To make significant strides toward our goal of having more young girls enter into Computer Science fields, we have to solicit the help of others by opening local chapters.
Thankfully, we've got great people like Diana Laboy-Rush from Oregon, Sara Kennedy from South Carolina, and the ENTIRE TEAM from Raven Tools in Nashville, that are willing to tackle this challenge with us. There are other groups answering our call and hopefully you will hear about those great people and organizations soon.
So how can you help? Spread the word on social media or via email. Volunteer for our events. Start your own chapter locally. Sponsor/support our efforts financially. This only continues with your help.
