"The strength of Coding Girls lies in the ‘educational chains’ that are held all year long around the country. In July, we hold a one-week long summer school where high school students become peer coaches for activities held throughout the autumn, as well as training middle and elementary school girls. The programme is made possible by the support of teachers and school that open their classrooms for extracurricular activities such as labs and contests based on coding, as well as the acquisition of competences such as problem-solving and an entrepreneurial mindset.”
In this interview with Journalist Antonella Di Noia for the StartupItalia, Mirta Michilli, Director General of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, explains the novelties of the fifth edition of Coding Girls.
