\"Code.org\u00ae<\/a>Code.org<\/h2>\r\nCode.org\u00ae is a non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented minorities. Their vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science, just like biology, chemistry or algebra. Code.org organizes the annual\u00a0Hour of Code<\/a>\u00a0campaign which has engaged 10% of all students in the world, and provides the leading curriculum for K-12 computer science in the largest school districts in the United States.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n

\"FIRST<\/a>FIRST<\/em><\/h2>\r\nFIRST<\/i> (F<\/b>or Inspiration and R<\/b>ecognition of S<\/b>cience and T<\/b>echnology) was founded in 1989 to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. Based in Manchester, NH, the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills.\r\n\r\nFIRST<\/em> is More Than Robots<\/b>. FIRST<\/i> participation is proven to encourage students to pursue education and careers in STEM-related fields, inspire them to become leaders and innovators, and enhance their 21st century work-life skills. Read more about the Impact of FIRST<\/i>.\r\n\r\nLearn more at www.firstinspires.org<\/a>.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n

\"Girls<\/a>Girls Who Code<\/h2>\r\nGirls Who Code<\/a> focuses on closing the gender gap in technology. Through the National Girls Who Code Clubs program, Girls Who Code offers a free after-school program for 6th-12th graders that provides computer science instruction along with a community of supportive peers and role models. With support from Microsoft, Girls Who Code will expand the program in cities and rural communities. The support will enable greater engagement within these communities, support of volunteer instructors, a refresh of curriculum, tools, and program evaluation as well as program enrichment opportunities, such as field trips, guest speakers, and meet-ups.\r\n\r\n
