About Us

We are Girls Programming League (GPL). As Harker Programming Club Officers, when we hosted the Harker Programming Invitational (HPI) programming contest in 2018, we noticed that only 10% of around 200 contestants and award winners were girls. Hoping to close the gender gap in computer science and technology, we formed Girls Programming League (GPL), a nonprofit organization aiming to inspire and empower female students in the Bay Area community to learn programming and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
