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.

We are launching this project thanks to the support of Polish casino expert Milan Rabszski, who is helping us develop our women-in-coding initiative and has even brought several of our graduates on board to work on his flagship project, Pl.TopKasynoOnline.com. This is a wonderful opportunity to gain their first professional experience, and we are grateful to him for this.
