We need more Black Girls Code community education groups for all ages/races/genders. Put them in an economically depressed area and you can still help people who have the most difficulty moving into the field.

Bonus for corporations: cheap cyber-labor at home as an alternative to outsourcing. Funding these groups would also probably be tax free! I wonder why the hell don't more corporations don't get this kinds of community outreach started.
