NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Girls Who Code launches #SisterhoodStory—a digital celebration for Day of the Girl that invites girls, both trans and cis, to shine a spotlight on one another, and the role of Sisterhood in their lives.

"During a painful and isolating time, this year we want to remind girls that no matter where they are or what they are going through, there is strength and healing in Sisterhood," said Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code. "Every time a woman in your life takes the time to listen to you, to give you advice, to help you grow, or even just to inspire you from afar—that's Sisterhood. We want to hear and to celebrate every single one of those stories."

Today at Apple will hold virtual sessions in partnership with Girls Who Code from October 5–11, 2020. These sessions are free and open to the public and include hands-on activities to help participants make creative #SisterhoodStory tributes. Sessions include, but are not limited to:

  • Art Lab: Create Your Sisterhood Story Tribute, Oct. 05, 3:00 p.m. PDT / 6:00 p.m. ET, Oct. 06, 4:00 p.m. PDT / 7:00 p.m. ET, Oct. 10, 5:00 p.m. PDT / 8:00 p.m. ET, and Oct. 11, 1:00 p.m. PDT / 4:00 p.m. ET:  Apple Creative Pros will show you how to create your #SisterhoodStory tribute by turning a photo of the girl, women or community who has your back into a work of art using Keynote, iPhone or iPad. 

As a part of the campaign, Girls Who Code will call on young women everywhere to share their own #SisterhoodStory—a tribute post to the women in their lives who've supported them.

The #SisterhoodStory campaign marks the third year that Girls Who Code has celebrated Day of the Girl with all digital activations aimed at connecting and inspiring girls worldwide. In 2019, the organization debuted the #MarchforSisterhood featuring prominent young girl activists participating in the first-ever digital march. In 2018, Girls Who Code created the Webby-award winning Sisterhood campaign, a digital visual album that reached nearly 100 million people worldwide.

As part of its Community Education Initiative, Apple began partnering with Girls Who Code in the Spring of 2019 in support of the Clubs program, with a focus on providing access to Swift Playgrounds and developing new curriculum offerings that give young women the tools to learn to code with Swift, Apple's easy-to-learn programming language.
