Since 2013, App Camp has been working on correcting the gender imbalance in
technology professions by inspiring middle school-aged girls, transgender, and
gender nonconforming youth with an introduction to the app development process.

They are currently working to establish camps in three new cities, and have an
Indiegogo campaign to fund that expansion.

We are happy to announce that thoughtbot will be matching your donations up to
$10,000 until the campaign ends Tuesday, November 21st, 2017.

To take advantage of this opportunity, and help this amazing organization, make
your donation now at [https://tbot.io/appcamp](https://tbot.io/appcamp)

purposes). We sincerely hope you’ll join us in improving our community by help
App Camp for Girls reach their funding goal.
