Coding Isn’t Just for Nerds
To the Editor:
In “Do Children in India Really Need to Learn to Code?” (Op-Ed, Jan. 4), Neelesh Misra posits that the future should have a place “for dreamers and doers, and not just those hunched forever over a computer,” as if the two are mutually exclusive. They are not.
At Girls Who Code, we do everything in our power to combat the idea that coders are just men hunched over computers.
Our girls create apps and write code to solve climate change, combat bullying, raise awareness about voting rights and gun control and menstruation stigma. Recently, one of our alumnae founded an organization for the 3D printing of thousands of units of personal protective equipment for frontline workers.
