“Code Girls United” is a Montana program that provides young ladies hands-on experiences and a real-life exploration of a career in computer technology, where only 24-percent of the jobs are filled by women.

The program is free to girls in the 4th – 8th grade. Find out more as we talk with founder, instructor, and executive director Marianne Smith.
