Hacked by Girls
Girls Who Code
Problem: Girls do not have a level playing field growing up.
Insight: Girls aren’t exposed to the same STEM opportunities as boys.
Creative Big Idea: “Hacked by Girls”
Execution Ideas: Secretly partner with big brands, allowing middle school girls to hack into their websites. The girls will hack these brands by showing a pair of Converse shoes untying, having a shirt on the Brandy Melville website wink at the customer, and swirls moving on a Billabong backpack.
