With women making up less than 20% of the tech workforce, Reshma Saujani launched Girls Who Code to close that gender gap. She launched the company in 2012 as an 8 week program for high school women and today it has skyrocketed, reaching nearly 90,000 girls across all 50 states. On this episode, Reshma opens up about how she was rejected from Yale Law School 2 times before getting accepted, how her parents instilled a spirit of aspiration in her, the importance of bouncing back after failure, and why she believes coding is "the secret American Dream."
