Coding and Hackathon

13/10/2014

2 min.

The European Code Week has kicked off and starting today Coding Girls will be arriving in a range of schools to inspire female students to pursue technology. The first appointment is at the Istituto tecnico M. Buonarrotiin Frascati; then, in the afternoon, it will be the turn of the Liceo J. F. Kennedy.

In order to overcome stereotypes and attract young women towards a digital career, Coding Girls Rome-USA provides visibility for positive models, accomplished and active female professionals just like the Girls Who Code coaches and the tutors from the Sapienza University Department of Computer Science. This is a programme that creates concrete opportunities that allow young women to experiment with technology hands-on.

The Coding Girls Rome-USA initiative is promoted by the Italian Semester Presidency of the European Union Council for the European Code Week. It has organised a week of events (October 12-19) entirely dedicated to female primary and secondary school students, also involving female university students and researchers.
