Learning to Code should
not be limited by gender, race or nationality.
.Tech Domains is launching #MyStartInTech, a campaign to increase access to computer science for young women and students from marginalized communities.
We will be donating 100%* of sales proceeds to Code.org® until 5th July to support this cause. Now it’s your turn.
We believe that every student should get equal access to computer science.
Why is it important to us?
- 73% of the world’s countries are either only piloting computer science in school or doing nothing at all.
- Only 47% of public high schools** teach a computer science class.
- Only 31% of total students** that took the AP computer science exam were female students.
- 22% of all students** that took the AP computer science exam were from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
Tech is the future & computer science needs to be accessible to all. More diversity in schools today will reflect in the tech workforce tomorrow.
