Code Ninjas

What started by attending a 5th grade party at Code Ninjas turned into a passion for coding. Today, Christina O is a 15-year-old Code Sensei helping younger kids build video games, and now she’s featured in @Bay Area Parent. 💻✨ “[W]hen I started building circuits and robots with kits my dad gave me and started watching Project Mc², where girls in STEM solve mysteries, I became more interested.” Christina’s story shows how early exposure sparks big potential. 🔥 But for many girls in STEM, confidence drops by 30% between ages 8 and 14. By partnering with groups like Girl Scouts and Girls Who Code, we provide girls with "mirrors"—role models who reflect their potential, inspire confidence, and show what’s possible in STEM. 👇  Check out Christina’s story below! #CodeNinjas #GirlsInSTEM #KidsWhoCode #FutureReady #BayAreaParent
