Native Girls Code
Native Girls Code (NGC) is a Seattle-based program that focuses on providing computer coding skills with grounding in traditional Indigenous knowledge for Native American girls aged 12 to 18 through workshops, coaching, teaching and role modeling. Native Girls Code is organized by the nonprofit organization Na'ah Illahee Fund (Mother Earth in Chinook Jargon), in partnership with the University of Washington Information School and the Washington NASA Space Consortium, as a way to support and perpetuate traditional knowledge, build leadership of women and encourage greater participation of Native American students in STEM fields.
