We need more <i>Black Girls Code</i> community education groups for all ages&#x2F;races&#x2F;genders. Put them in an economically depressed area and you can still help people who have the most difficulty moving into the field.<p>Bonus for corporations: cheap cyber-labor at home as an alternative to outsourcing. Funding these groups would also probably be tax free! I wonder why the hell don&#x27;t more corporations don&#x27;t get this kinds of community outreach started.
