THE Journal: Microsoft is backing two STEM education nonprofits to the tune of $500,000: Black Girls Code and the Technology Access Foundation.
According to Microsoft, the company is partnering with Black Girls Code to "help them establish a Seattle chapter to introduce programming and technology to young and pre-teen girls of color through clubs led by women engineers of color." That group is in 13 other U.S. cities already and operates a range of activities, from hackathons and coding and robotics workshops to summer camps, film screenings and community meet-ups.
