Made with Code is an initiative launched by Google on July 19 2014. Google aimed to empower young women in middle and high schools with computer programming skills. Made with Code was created after Google's own research found out that encouragement and exposure are the critical factors that would influence young females to pursue computer science.[1] It was reported that Google is funding $50 million to Made with Code,[2] on top of the initial $40 million invested since 2010 in organizations like Code.org, Black Girls Code, and Girls Who Code.[3] The Made with Code initiative involves both online activities as well as real life events, collaborating with notable firms like Shapeways and App Inventor.
