What's this all about?
I've been working on an idea that will address the burning question every girl eventually asks about learning to code – so what? A glaring omission in many resources for learning to code is helping students see how the skills translate to addressing real-world problems and finding the pathways available to real-world opportunities. In addition, female role models and mentors are often missing, so that girls don’t see themselves in these roles.
Geared toward middle and high school students, the Tech-Girls Project will fill in these missing pieces and be the glue that brings together the coding movements, educational pathways and real-world job opportunities. From a coding tutorial, students can explore related job opportunities & find role models and mentors. From a field of study the student is interested in, they can explore how technology fits in and access tutorials that give them a taste of what it’s like to work with that technology.
