Rooted in her background in organizing and a deep belief in doing “good work with good people”, Emily shares how Girls Who Code is evolving its strategy to meet the moment and the importance of inclusion in building a future where technology works for everyone. It’s not just about teaching the essential skills; it’s creating a community of support that extends beyond graduation, providing access and pathways for success in tech.
