We believe in

#WomenInStem

compileHer is a student organization founded at the University of Chicago that aims to engage young girls from all across the city of Chicago through computer science education, adopting an approach to our programming that is necessarily intersectional in nature. The importance of technical literacy to social mobility in our society cannot be overstated. However, the potential for technology to serve as an equalizing force is unfortunately limited by barriers to educational opportunity along racial, socioeconomic, and gender lines. We are strongly committed to the principles of inclusivity and accessibility, as we seek to organize opportunities at no cost to our students and prioritize outreach to historically under-resourced schools. Broadly, our organizational objective is to break down those barriers: we are committed to closing the gender gap in the tech world by providing free, high-quality computer science education to young women.
