CALIFORNIA CHAPTER Mission

What We Strive For

The GCL California Chapter aims to diversify the computer science community through providing access to education for less privileged students, primarily girls. Less than 15% of the technology workforce consists of underrepresented groups and we strive to change that number. We hope our interactive sessions and project-oriented curriculum with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will help these students to make an impact in not only their own lives but also in their community.

CalIfornia Chapter Leader

Krish Maniar

“Hello! My name is Krish Maniar and I’m 15 years old. I’m currently a rising sophomore at The Harker School in San Jose, CA. My passions include computer science, machine learning, and math. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer and competing in debate and MUN conferences.

As the leader of the GCL California Chapter, I hope to instill a passion for CS in young girls through machine learning project-based workshops and AI conferences/summits.
