I prefer to count the women. The majority of leadership at
@codeorg are women. The majority of our tech team. The majority of our facilitators. The majority of our teachers.
What’s more: thanks to these women, the overwhelming majority of the almost 40M students on @codeorg are young women and students of color. Nobody has achieved diversity at this scale in CS before.

But the credit for that work doesn’t belong to these women alone. There are also men at
@codeorg. They are the minority, which is unusual for a tech company. They are proud allies for women in tech, and have devoted their careers to this work. -
Plus we also have hundreds of partners; our work is done by a community. We applaud all their work. It’s a team effort.https://medium.com/@codeorg/dedicating-our-5-year-anniversary-to-our-partners-b57368a92924 …

I conceived that http://Code.org created great curriculum and proposed fun projects. Still, don’t you think that a large part of achieving parity is not due to your org efforts towards girls, but that the Hour of Code happened in classrooms, where 50% are girls?

Building engaging curriculum and PD around equity is a huge focus for our organization. And you're right that focusing on classrooms is also core to our mission. Schools need to teach this so we reach the girls who may not have even thought to take it. I want every girl to try CS
