The supermodel, who took coding classes last summer and has since become an advocate for teaching young women computer programming, has launched a partnership with the Flatiron School in New York to create the [Kode with Karlie scholarship](http://precollege.flatironschool.com/kode-with-karlie#scholarship-details) for 20 girls, ages 13 to 18. Teens interested in the two-week summer program can submit a 60-second video explaining why they would like to learn to code in the same classes that Kloss took. At present, only 12% of computer science degrees go to women. But by 2020, U.S. universities won’t be able to fill even a third of the country’s 1.4 million computing positions with qualified graduates. The [obvious solution](http://time.com/3062885/girls-who-code-google-facebook/) for industry leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates (who back the nonprofit coding education site [Code.org](http://code.org/)) is to teach more American children—especially girls—to code. Other advocates like Rashma Saujani and Kimberly Bryant have founded camps and programs [Girls Who Code](https://girlswhocode.com/) and [Black Girls Code](http://www.blackgirlscode.com/) to try to close the gender gap by capturing girls’ interest at a young age. Now, Kloss is using her popularity with young female fans to hopefully accomplish the same goal. “Code is only going to continue to play a major role in defining our future,” says Kloss in a promo video. “I think it’s crucial that young women learn to code as early as possible to ensure that we as young women have a voice and a stake in what the world looks like.” **MORE:** [_Cracking the Girl Code: How to End the Tech Gender Gap_](http://time.com/3062885/girls-who-code-google-facebook/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3815575/karlie-kloss-coding-scholarships/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3815575/karlie-kloss-coding-scholarships/"},"headline":"Karlie Kloss Is Giving Scholarship to Girls Who Want to Learn to Code","datePublished":"2015-04-09T17:10:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:45:17.637Z","description":"\"I think it's crucial that young women learn to code as early as possible to ensure that we have a voice in what the world looks like\"","url":"https://time.com/3815575/karlie-kloss-coding-scholarships/","keywords":["Living","Education"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3815575/karlie-kloss-coding-scholarships/","name":"Karlie Kloss Is Giving Scholarship to Girls Who Want to Learn to Code"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Cracking The Girl Code","description":"A program is trying to address low employment rates of women in the technology industry by attacking the issue at its source: Education.
