Join Rewriting the Code — Empowering Women in Tech

If you’ve ever been one of a few women in your CS lecture at Stanford, or the only one on your project team, you know the feeling.

You love building. You love problem-solving. You love the late-night grind in Gates or Huang. But sometimes you’re also navigating imposter syndrome, competitive recruiting cycles, and the pressure to “prove” you belong in every room you walk into.

You do belong. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Rewriting the Code (RTC) is a free community of 40,000+ women in tech, from university through early career, building their futures together. We support Stanford students in computer science and adjacent technical fields with the mentorship, relationships, and opportunities that make the difference between surviving tech and thriving in it.

What makes RTC different?

Stanford already gives you world-class technical training. RTC complements that with what too many women in tech are missing:

A community that actually shows up.
Our active Slack connects you with women across universities and companies who answer questions in real time, whether you’re debugging at midnight or preparing for a technical interview. We also host year-round in-person events, including networking events, meetups, summer internship kickoff season gatherings, and more.

Direct access to companies that want to hire women in tech.
Through our Career Summit, TechConnect events, and year-round partner engagement, you connect with recruiters and engineers who are specifically looking for talent like you.

Mentors who remember exactly what this stage feels like.
Near-peer and industry mentors help you navigate everything from landing your first internship to negotiating offers and choosing between big tech, startups, or research paths.

The impact is real

95% of RTC student members report feeling certain about pursuing a career in tech by graduation. That confidence matters. Especially at a place like Stanford, where the bar is high and the talent is undeniable.

Whether you’re:

• A first-year exploring CS for the first time
• Deep into systems, AI, HCI, or theory
• Recruiting for internships at OpenAI, Google, or a stealth startup
• Or wondering if you’re “technical enough” to stay in this field

RTC is your team.

Because tech can be competitive. It can be intense. It can be isolating.

But it doesn’t have to be.

Join thousands of women building the future of technology together. Join Rewriting the Code (free for students).
Find your people. Accelerate your career. Stay in the room and change it.
