Thank you for expressing interest in our endeavor.
I agree that by having the word "girls" in the organization's might make the organization seem isolationist. The idea is to target a specific demographic that is underrepresented in technology. If anyone interested in joining the group feels uncertain about whether they belong, they should know that they definitely do. This organization is community, and communities are built on love.
Once again, thank you for you interest in our organization.
- intrazoo 13y agoRoger that, thank you for the response, and best of luck in this project. Getting both younger and underrepresented people familiar with computers/coding, even if they do not go on to be developers, is important (Alan Kay says we don't teach kids math/science/music just so that they can all become mathematician/scientists/musicians).
