Girls Code

GirlsCode was born among a group of Female Programmers and Computer Scientists who believe that this generation of girls deserves to have the opportunity of being introduced to the world of CS, in order to generate great value and skill into their lives and into their communities. By awakening their interest, developing scientific and technological skills, thinking pragmatically and logically, they can surely develop useful skills in the competitive working field. The global concern over the current and future role of women in technology acquires a new level of importance with the birth of the information era. These concerns are a key motivation for the organization of public debates about gender equality, specially when we see how computer applications are a growing influence in our society. We want to spread knowledge and opportunities in information technology and reduce the effect of intrinsic sexism.
