Founded by a female Stanford computer science graduate and former university lecturer, Building Bytes specializes in teaching computer science to K-12 girls through 1-on-1 personalized, project-based mentorship.
We teach girls to code in a way that aligns with their interests and skill level. Whether your daughter is just starting to learn how to code in Scratch or whether she wants to delve into the complexities of machine learning, we will curate a project-based curriculum tailored to her interests.
Our goal is to help your daughter build a foundation in computer science by creating projects she is proud of.

Ayelet Drazen
During my time as a student, I noticed that there were very few girls in most of my computer science classes. Though I loved coding, I was often discouraged by the absence of other girls in the field. I decided I wanted to help change that. By starting Building Bytes, my goal is to provide all students with the opportunity to fall in love with coding!
