My daughter was with Brown Girls Code (BGC) for 5 years and she enjoyed it. She was able to interact with peers and learn different programming languages and robotics and cybersecurity principles. She looked forward to attending the sessions and learned a lot over the years. She recently graduated and will be attending college as a computer science major. I'd like to think that BGC was instrumental in this decision. I highly recommend the program and have shared it with many others.
Dr. Brown does an amazing job incorporating STEM into her projects and camps involving brown girls. In this organization, she also brings awareness to STEM in hopes of increasing the number of brown girls participating within the field. The projects created by Dr. Brown allows young brown girls to participate in hands-on activities which will equip them with valuable tools and skills that will aid them in succeeding in any field they desire to work in.
This program is amazing for young people! It offers great resources and support, helping them build essential skills and confidence. The mentors are super knowledgeable and truly care about each participant’s growth and success. I highly recommend it to any young person looking to learn and grow!
Best platform for a girl child. My daughter had a great time learning how to code . She is empowered

This is by far the most professional, fun, STEM, STEAM program you can involve your daughters in. Dr. Brown is so motivating and innovative and wants to ensure that the great success she has had will be passed on. This program is motivating to the parents and guardians, care takers of the young ladies as well because we see the energy and joy that comes from learning and presenting their projects and it makes the older generation want to continue learning... Lifelong learning and applying Blooms Taxonomy is what BGC is about!
I can’t express how grateful we are for Brown Girls Code (BCG). After every session my daughter came home brimming with excitement over what she learned. BGC ignited a passion for STEM in my daughter and boosted her confidence. She is now talking about becoming an engineer. BCG not only taught my daughter valuable skills but helped her to see that Brown girls like her can pursue a career in science and engineering. I highly recommend BGC to other parents of girls of color interested in STEM.
Five stars isn’t an adequate enough rating for this incredible non profit! Brown Girls Code (BGC) plays a crucial role in inspiring and preparing young girls for careers in STEM.

It was an amazing experience all around for both me, as a parent, and my daughter. It was not a lot of heavy lifting on the parent’s part which made it very easy to commit to while also having TONS of opportunities to volunteer and contribute to the success of the program (which I HIGHLY recommend)! My daughter has learned so much and even got a chance to show off her new skills at her school’s Career Day. A cybersecurity practitioner spoke and asked questions and she was the only child that was able to answer to his surprise since these aren’t terms and concepts your average adult, let alone average child, knows. Ms. Ebony, the founder, is so amazing. Not only does she have such a warm soul, but is very professional, understanding and thorough. All things of value to me because that’s someone I can trust with my child and know I’m getting my monies worth. I HIGHLY recommend this program to every brown girl out there!
This is an amazing organization focused on teaching girls how to code, build confidence, embrace technology, and build sisterhood. My daughter loves it!

An amazing program that fosters confidence and sisterhood while teaching girls coding and exposing them to STEM initiatives.
Brown Girls Code is a PHENOMENAL Non-Profit Organization. I have two daughters that are 13 years old that have been in the program for two years now and it has been nothing short of amazing, a blessing and a miracle for them. The attention to detail, the care, the professionalism, the love and the concern that Ebony and her staff [of volunteers] provides for my daughters in this program is AWESOME, paramount and should be the standard for all non-profits. They always treat our children like they would their own. They always have new and innovative ways to help the girls learn. My daughters have learned so much across all STEM disciplines, gained confidence, found new friends, experienced new things and learned so much that you can't put a price on that. As a parent and a Veteran, I am so thankful for this organization for filling in the gap where my husband and I might have missed for the developmental success of our daughters. You can easily see that this is a God ordained program and blessing for so many young girls. I thank you for the opportunity and the blessing.
I worked initially as an intern. It was a great learning experience that taught me many new skills and allowed me to meet knew interesting people. I would highly recommend Brown Girls Code to any parents with children interested in computers, science, entrepreneurship, and just people building skills. They offer great opportunities for students and it is an experience that should be experienced by many.
Brown Girls Code is an awesome organization. As an Augusta native and STEAM advocate, when I found out about Ebony Brown and her vision I had to get involved. The organization is giving girls an opportunity to explore the technology world and providing them with endless career options. I am beyond proud of the work that has been done thus far and super excited to witness and be a part of what's coming in the future. Brown Girls Code rocks!
BGC is a safe, fun, and educational environment that allows girls from ages 7-18 to learn more about Computer Science Topics. As the world of technology is constantly evolving, BGC has implemented an opportunity for girls to learn and thrive as they are introduced to the STEM world. When you are part of BGC, you are introduced to all aspects of STEM.
I think it's fantastic to see a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching black girls how to code. Their work is undoubtedly valuable in promoting diversity and inclusion in the tech industry. This initiative deserves a high rating for its efforts to empower underrepresented groups and bridge the digital divide. Keep up the excellent work!

My daughter is extremely excited to join a sisterhood. She is the baby girl with 4 adult sisters, and she's super happy to feel included with girls her age, she loves stem and computers and we're so grateful to be apart of a good organization.
The team was very friendly and excited to start the new semester. I enjoyed the fact that a former student was back with the team as a college graduate and volunteer. It means that she received valuable information for her profession and herself. It made me excited to have my 8-year-old in the group as a first-time coder and science lover.
I love the enthusiasm of the instructors and the parents. I will recommend this company to everyone that I know. I am glad that I heard about it!
I love this organization and the founder this is truly a blessing to my child and other girls around the world to learn about coding especially in this world of technology that we live in now!!!! I would recommend this to all my family and friends.

This will give them a head start by acquiring "hands-on" skills that are required for a competitive career in the STEM related field of their choice.
My daughter loves Brown Girls Code (BGC). BGC has given my daughter more self esteem and courage. One night my daughter and I were talking, she said that BGC is the only place she didn't feel out of place. Brown Girls Code has given my daughter a place where she can relate to other girls who share the same interest as her technology and creativity. It empowers her to dream the impossible and not feel judged or uncomfortable. She loves participating in the activities and trying the coding challenges.

This is a excellent program for these young ladies. They are introduced to the cyber field where African Americans are unrepresented. Ebony and the staff are role models! Highly recommended!
Brown girls have been a great learning experience for my daughter. Learning with technology and being exposed to exciting and engaging experiences.
Excellent opportunity for my daughter. A professional, hands on team, passionate about helping her with resources, information, and training. Participating in the Brown Girls CODE program, gave her an additional confidence boost to pursue and achieve her associates in CIS in underrepresented classrooms, while dual enrolled in high school.
I don't even know where to begin to tell how proud I am of Brown Girls Code and the young girls and ladies that the program reaches. I have seen this program mature and I am amazed at its growth. I recently had the opportunity to be a panelist particularly and workshop instructor for the sponsored STEMusem Girls Expo 2, and I can truly say it was a pleasure. The girls were so engaged and so talented. Founder Ebony Hicks is a true gem for turning this dream into a reality. There are so few brown girls like she and I in the STEAM and IT industry, and this program is helping to change that narrative. I wish I could give even more than 5 stars.
My daughter has been a part of BGC for 2 years now! The experience and exposure are second to none! At such a nominal fee for the sessions. Definitely recommend this program!
Girls who code is a great non profit organization that take Interest in the youth of today into various faucets of the technical arena. This program promotes encouragement to women of the next generation to take part in life long learning experiences.
