What Boolean Girl, Inc. does

Boolean Girl, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2014 in Arlington, Virginia, that delivers STEM education, particularly coding, robotics, AI, and engineering instruction, to girls and other underrepresented youth in grades 3 through 8. Its core offerings comprise three program lines: in-person Summer Camps at Marymount University (Arlington), Burgundy Farms (Alexandria), and Montgomery County recreation sites; ongoing Clubhouse after-school and weekend sessions; and the school-based 'micro:bit for All' initiative, co-developed with Virginia Tech Thinkabit Labs to distribute micro:bit microcontroller kits and aligned curricula to 5th graders across the DMV region. Supporting the program portfolio is a Creative Commons-licensed curriculum library at teach.booleangirl.org covering Scratch, Python, AI chatbot projects, and micro:bit lessons, plus a paid micro:bit kit e-commerce storefront at microbitkit.com selling Base, Sensor, and Motion kits at cost, with grants covering kit distribution where schools cannot pay.

The organization's revenue mechanics mix programmatic fees (camp registration through county recreation portals, clubhouse membership) with donations from corporate sponsors, individual donors, and foundation grants; named sponsors include Topsoe, Battelle, Graham Fund, GW Bailey Foundation, Community Foundation for Northern Virginia (including its Business Women's Giving Circle), Micron Technology, SIM Capital Area Chapter, US FinTech, and the Montgomery County government, alongside a Girl Scouts Nation's Capital Council Program Partner relationship. Customer segments split between consumer families (individual camp/clubhouse sign-ups with need-based scholarships available through Arlington and Montgomery County RecAssist), K-12 schools (micro:bit for All deployments requiring as little as $5,000 in sponsorship per school), and Girl Scout troops/individuals (free Clubhouse access via promo code GIRLSCOUTS for badge completion). The go-to-market motion is community-led: word-of-mouth, school and Girl Scout partnerships, county recreation channels, and online content. The organization holds a Candid (GuideStar) Transparency Seal, has been recognized regionally as a top summer camp by NoVA Magazine (2026), and is associated with a Virginia Department of Education Computer Science Educator of the Year 2024 recognition for a partner-school educator. It does not offer an app, public API, or proprietary software product, positioning instead as a curriculum, program, and hardware-distribution nonprofit.
