GeekPack® Mission

Every question, regardless of its nature, is an avenue for growth and improvement. Our thirst for knowledge drives us to continuously ask questions, always giving the benefit of the doubt. We never assume, we maintain an open-minded approach and we are receptive to new ideas.

Our inclusivity ensures no one is judged for seeking assistance, and gratitude remains at the forefront of our interactions. Our compassion is demonstrated through the grace and respect we extend to others. Mindful of time and resources, we validate lived experiences, considering the broader circumstances that shape people's lives.

At the heart of our interactions is genuine connection and community. We value communication aligned with our ethos, striving to meet individuals where they stand. Vulnerability, honesty, and generosity are pillars in our approach to building relationships. We view every interaction as a conversation—a chance to collaborate, making our touchpoints meaningful.

We're unafraid to seek assistance, embodying bravery in every step. True courage is evident when we embrace our imperfections, openly admitting our uncertainties. Our adaptability empowers us to find silver linings in setbacks. Feedback drives our actions, and we're resolute in maintaining our boundaries, always challenging the conventional.

Our solutions are effective and also filled with joy and uniqueness, keeping us agile in ever-evolving scenarios. We cherish and cultivate our innate interests and passions, allowing ourselves the mental space to envision grander possibilities beyond immediate tasks. Guarding against burnout, we chase opportunities with vigor, constantly exploring and taking initiative.

Black Girls CODE is devoted to showing the world that black girls can code, and do so much more. By reaching out to the community through workshops and after school programs, Black Girls CODE introduces computer coding lessons to young girls from underrepresented communities in programming languages such as Scratch or Ruby on Rails.

Black Girls CODE has set out to prove to the world that girls of every color have the skills to become the programmers of tomorrow. By promoting classes and programs we hope to grow the number of women of color working in technology and give underprivileged girls a chance to become the masters of their technological worlds.

Black Girls CODE's ultimate goal is to provide African-American youth with the skills to occupy some of the 1.4 million computing job openings expected to be available in the U.S. by 2020, and to train 1 million girls by 2040.
