At first glance, code looks a lot like a foreign language. But you don’t have to be a computer expert to teach yourself one of the myriad programming languages pro coders are fluent in. In fact, an inspiring new study found that it only takes one hour a week to hugely improve one’s computer literacy, with this being especially true for girls. Practice also ramps up interest: 75% of girls in the study (high school graduates) with no prior computer science experience who spent just 60 minutes studying code reported liking the subject!

Happy President's Day to our country's leaders!

Living in Kenya, where poaching elephants has become a great problem, Girl Scout Troop 21201 was inspired to take action. The Girl Scouts worked together to sponsor an elephant, named Sana Sana (Swahili for very much, because she is so loved). After fostering Sana Sana, the Girl Scouts took their actions one on the road to the local schools where they educated others on the importance of helping elephants. Way to make a difference, girls!

While selling Girl Scout Cookies with her dad, 9-year-old Phoenyx ran into a cookie customer who was deaf. Writing on a slip of paper, the customer asked Phoenyx to return later, when someone else would be home. This one incident inspired this go-getting Girl Scout to learn ASL—not only to communicate with cookie customers in the future, but as a lifelong skill.

**Some signs may not be perfect, but practice makes perfect!
