Pink Tools Can’t Fix This

Client: Girls Who Code

Target Audience: Parents with girls age 2-17 years old.

Insight: People believe the solution to getting more women in stem is “painting it pink,” so making the field more feminine. We can paint all the tools pink, but it won’t fix the machine – the misogynistic STEM industry. Because of that, coding is hard and inaccessible to learn.

Big Idea: Stop painting over the problem and address misogyny in the STEM field.
