she++

she++ is a nonprofit organization founded in 2012 with a mission to empower underrepresented groups in technology. By challenging negative stereotypes surrounding technical careers, she++ seeks to rebrand the image of a technologist and dispel the misconception that computer science is not a career for women and minorities. The organization primarily focuses on high school and college students, providing resources and guidance to demonstrate the social impact and problem-solving capacity of computer science. They also run various initiatives such as the she++ Documentary, the #include Fellowship Program, the she++ College Ambassador Program, and the online she++ Challenge. Through these programs, she++ encourages young technologists to embrace self-confidence and individuality, ultimately fostering a culture of inclusivity and diversity in technical careers. The organization aims to create a community and momentum for women in tech while encouraging dialogue about the barriers they face. With a vision to build the next generation of technologists, she++ fosters advocacy and outreach among its students, empowering them to become champions of diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.
