Priyanka Chopra said, "to quote the great Mahatma Gandhi from the land that I come from, be the change that you wish to see in the world... The girls and women that you see on screen are coding to fight inequality, increase peace, and end poverty."

Earlier in the week, Made with Code gave a sneak preview of their innovative, groundbreaking on-stage integration at the Global Citizens Festival at Milk Studios in New York City, and shined a light on Chloe x Halle, supporters of Made with Code's "Change is Made with Code" campaign who use code-powered social media to champion critical issues like gender and racial equality. Chloe and Halle were joined by teen girls from the Black Girls Rock! and other local nonprofits at the event.
