Native Girls Code (NGC) is a Seattle-based[1] program that focuses on providing computer coding skills with grounding in traditional Indigenous knowledge for Native American girls aged 12–18[2] through workshops, coaching, teaching and role modeling.[3] It is organized by the non-profit organization Na'ah Illahee Fund (Mother Earth in the Chinook language), in partnership with University of Washington Information School Digital Youth Lab and the Washington NASA Space Consortium, as a way to support and perpetuate traditional knowledge, build leadership of women and encourage greater participation of Native American students in STEM fields.

The program was designed specifically to give Native girls from tribes throughout the United States a place to develop a strong foundation in Native culture, Native science, and build the skills needed to use modern computer technologies, resulting in the creation of websites, online games and virtual worlds. Leaders hope Native Girls Code will enrich both the girls and their communities.[4]

Awards and grants

In 2016 NGC was awarded a grant through the City of Seattle's Technology Matching Fund, aimed at increasing digital equity among underrepresented Seattle citizens.[1] Google has been a major funder of the program and Facebook has donated laptops and filming equipment to NGC.[4]
