Girls Code mission is to increase the number of women of color in the digital technology space by introducing girls 7-17 to computing skills.
MarvelTaking the girls from Girls Code to see this film was pretty dope, seeing as though they got to see a black girl named Letitia Wright, who portrays Shuri, run Wakanda’s technology center in the film. The tech savvy character is also the little sister of T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman).
