What is Girls Who Code Delta?

The Self-Paced Program is a 6-week flexible computer science course for currently eligible 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade US students and international students ages 14-18 who identify as girls and prefer not to adhere to a set schedule.



Girls Who Code is a global non-profit organization founded in 2012 by Reshma Saujani with the mission to close the gender gap in technology. While "Delta" is not a standalone branch, it often refers to a specific club chapter (such as at a university or high school) or a partnership with Delta Air Lines, which has historically sponsored the organization to promote STEM education. These "Delta" initiatives focus on providing girls and non-binary students with the "core-four" computer science concepts: loops, variables, conditionals, and functions. In 2026, the program continues to offer summer immersion programs and after-school clubs that empower students to build "Sisterhood" while learning to code. It is a high-value peer tip to check if your local school or library hosts a chapter, as these clubs provide free, hands-on experience and mentorship from industry professionals, helping to turn a curiosity about technology into a viable career path in a field that still lacks equal female representation.
