About Black Kids Code for girls
Empowering Black girls in a tech-driven world
Since 2015, we’ve been on a mission to equip Black youth with the technical skills, mentorship, and representation they need to thrive in a world shaped by tech innovation. Building on that success, we recently launched several chapters exculsively for girls.
We offer girls more than just coding lessons. Through hands-on programs in computer science, AI, and robotics—delivered by Black female STEM professionals in a space where students feel safe and encouraged—we empower girls to see themselves as future innovators, leaders, and change-makers in a tech-driven world.
For many of our students, this is the first time they’ve been taught by someone who looks like them. That visibility matters. It shifts what they believe is possible by showing them there are no limits to what they can achieve.
Our Mission
To improve the future of Black girls through education in computer science and technology.
Our Vision
For Black girls to recognize the skills and talents they possess, reach their full potential, and be prepared for success as tomorrow’s technology leaders and innovators.
Why we matter
Black Kids Code was launched to help close the representation gap in tech for Black girls. As Black women are underrepresented in STEM, many Black girls grow up without seeing themselves reflected in the spaces where technology is taught, built, and led. We are here to help change that by creating opportunities for learning, confidence, community and possibility.
Confidence
We help Black girls build self-belief through mentorship, creativity, and real-world problem-solving in a space they feel seen and supported.
Future-ready skills
From AI to robotics, students gain practical experience that prepares them for success in technology and related fields.
Community
We foster belonging by connecting Black girls with Black educators and tech professionals across Canada.
