Wikimedia Commons

It's not just a TV-show trope that many of the people working at writing computer programs are male.

She is the founder of "Girls Who Code," which aims to increase the incidence of females creating the stuff that runs on our computers and smartphones.  The founder visits with us to talk about goals, aims, and successes.
