Karlie Kloss has had a lifelong passion for math and science. Even as her fashion career was taking off, she remained committed to studying her favorite subjects, parlaying them into her now-five-year-old non-profit organization, Kode With Klossy, which offers free summer camps to teach girls aged 13-18 how to code.
You might wonder what this could possibly have to do with beauty, but Karlie and her Kode With Klossy scholars prove that the worlds of science and coding don’t have to be limited to lab coats and algorithms. Coding is surprisingly creative: just look at the gorgeous Estee Lauder website that one of this year’s scholars “hacked” to support the cult-favorite lipstick line, Pure Color Envy.
