On July 19, the Girls Who Code class visited Microsoft’s Innovation and Policy Center in DC for Mentorship Day. The day began with a panel of four inspiring women in tech who shared their career stories and advice for the students to take with them into college and beyond. Then the girls participated in a networking round robin, spending one-on-one time with potential mentors. Mentorship Day wouldn’t have been possible without the panelists and mentors who contributed their time and insight, including:

• Betsy Brady, tech policy professional
• Kristina Frances, EsteemLogic
• Danielle Gilliam-Moore, Salesforce
• Cindy Greenwood, UMBC Center for Women in Technology
• DeVan Hankerson, The Goodfriend Group
• Tasha Jones, Twenty39
• Susan Mann, Microsoft
• Shali Mohleji, IBM
• Meagan Sunn, House Committee on Small Business
