Google’s Made with Code initiative teamed up with the 5th annual Global Citizen Festival and millions of teen girls to ignite girls’ awareness of code as a tool for making change in the world in Central Park on September 24. Made with Code, whose mission is to inspire girls to take their first step in code and consider computer science as a means to pursue their dream careers, debuted a tapestry of coded creations made by teen girls around the country on stage during an empowered call to action from Priyanka Chopra and performance by Ellie Goulding of “Anything Can Happen” live at the Global Citizen Festival. Backstage at Made with Code’s VIP suite, stars and notables like Nancy Pelosi, Dianna Agron, Darren Criss, and Kal Penn, took part in the movement by coding their own messages for change.
