== Kimberly Bryant ==
Kimberly Bryant is a Biotechnology/Engineering professional who founded [http://www.blackgirlscode.com/ BlackGirlsCode] in 2011, to meet the needs of young women of color who are underrepresented in the currently exploding field of technology. Bryant received her first taste of computer programming when Fortran and Pascal were still the popular languages in the computing world and the 'Apple Macintosh' was the new kid on the block. Much has changed since those days and the mission of BlackGirlsCode is to introduce programming and technology to a new generation of coders (girls aged 7 - 17) who will become the leaders and creators of tomorrow.
