This week’s case study reveals how Girls Who Code increased enrollment in their programs by more than 200% during a global pandemic, a jump from 1600 to 5,000 students enrolled that brought their total students served to over 500,000. We’re joined in this interview by Dr. Tarika Barrett, the CEO of Girls Who Code, an international non-profit organization working to close the gender gap in technology. 

With over two decades of building educational pathways for young people at organizations like the New York City Department of Education and New York University’s Center for Research on Teaching and Learning, along with an impressive list of accolades received for her work, including being named one of Crain’s 50 Most Powerful Women in New York in 2021, Dr. Tarika Barrett is an expert in education innovation. Whether you’re a course creator, nonprofit leader, or online educator and coach, this conversation will help you impact more lives with the work you do.
