What QueenB does

QueenB is an Israeli nonprofit organization founded in 2018 by Yasmin Dunsky, Noga Mann, and classmates at Hebrew University to address the underrepresentation of women in Israel's technology sector. The organization delivers free, girls-only programming education from 8th grade through university via a multi-year curriculum built on HTML, JavaScript, and CSS taught through project-based learning, with programs delivered in both Hebrew and Arabic. A national network of 20+ activity centers spans Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Beer Sheva, and additional cities, with formal co-operation from the Jerusalem, Haifa, and Givatayim municipalities and the Israel Ministry of Education.

The product portfolio consists of the Youth Program (Juniors for 8th-graders, Seniors for 9th-graders introducing Object-Oriented Programming and matriculation exam prep, plus Study Groups for grades 10–12), the Student Community of 5,000+ CS/engineering students and alumni, a Scholarship Program that pays second-year-plus students to teach 120 hours of instruction (NIS 6,000 stipend), a Junior Instructor volunteer track for 10th–12th-grade alumni, a three-month "The Project" mini-internship with reporting roughly 100% job-placement success, and a January 2026-launched Level Up program focused on the post-secondary / pre-military / career transition stage. Programming outputs are validated through an annual Israel-wide hackathon that has run since 2021.

QueenB operates as a donation- and grant-funded nonprofit under the legal name QueenB (עמותה); participants attend free of charge. Revenue inflows derive from individual donors, philanthropic foundations (Jerusalem Women Foundation, Jerusalem Women Global Fund, Rothschild Cedar Fund, The Mutual Fund), Israeli municipalities, and a deep corporate partnership ecosystem including Microsoft, Mobileye, AppsFlyer, Wix, Monday.com, Fiverr, Palo Alto Networks, Okta, and Check Point — partners contribute cash sponsorship, hosted venues, scholarships, mini-internships, and graduate hires. Reported outcomes include 70%+ of alumni continuing in computer science, 87% of Level Up graduates completing high-tech matriculation, 68% of Level Up graduates serving in tech roles, and a community of approximately 6,000 women members and 900+ active girl participants.

Broad incumbents

• AnitaB.org: Global nonprofit focused on women in technology, including university and professional programs. Comparable mission to advance women in tech, but targets working professionals and university populations rather than K-12.
• Code.org: Large US nonprofit pushing K-12 computer science curriculum adoption. Comparable as a CS-education nonprofit, but with much broader scope (all students, advocacy focus) versus QueenB's girls-only niche.
• STEM.org: UK-based STEM education charity supporting teachers and schools across STEM subjects. Comparable as a STEM-education nonprofit, though with a much broader curriculum scope than QueenB's coding focus.

Direct peers

• Black Girls CODE: Nonprofit providing technology education for Black girls through in-person workshops and hackathons. Compares on girls-only targeting, project-based learning, and community/mentorship model.
• Technovation: Global nonprofit running app-building programs for girls, with curriculum and mentorship structure. Comparable as a girls-only coding nonprofit with mentor-driven delivery and project-based outcomes.
• SheCodes: Online coding school targeting women with structured, project-based front-end workshops. Comparable in women-only focus and web-stack (HTML/CSS/JS) curriculum, though it operates online versus QueenB's in-person center model.
• Girls Who Code: US-based nonprofit running multi-year coding programs for girls, including after-school clubs and summer immersion programs. Closest global analogue to QueenB's mission, multi-year structure, and girls-only model.
• Kode With Klossy: Free two-week coding camps for young women aged 13-18. Comparable in girls-only targeting, free delivery, and tech-industry sponsorship model.

Regional players

• Tsofen: Israeli nonprofit integrating Arab citizens into the Israeli high-tech sector. Comparable as an Israeli-based tech-inclusion nonprofit, though focused on workforce integration rather than school-age girls' programming education.
• Code First Girls: UK-based social enterprise providing free coding courses for women and girls. Comparable mission and free delivery model, but operates in a different geography than QueenB's Israel focus.
