👩💻 Happy #NationalCodingWeek! Whether you're just starting out or looking to boost your skills, coding is a vital tool for success in today’s tech-driven world. National Coding Week aims to inspire individuals of all ages to explore coding and the opportunities it brings. Curious about where to begin? We've got you covered! Check out our latest article on the 7 Best Coding Bootcamps for Women in the UK to kickstart your journey: https://buff.ly/4dCumlH #CodingForEveryone #TechCareers #LearnToCode #WomenWhoCode

❓Did you know that listening to young people helps empower them to speak up more❓ When they know their voices are heard 📣, they’re more likely to use them! That’s why we created our Girls Into Coding Community Voice, allowing all our attendees to get involved and steer the direction of our organisation. #GirlsIntoCoding #GirlsInPower #GirlsInTech #WomenInTechandEngineering #GirlsInEngineering

Our Coding Motivations👩💻 A simple yet powerful code for life:  eat();  sleep();  love_yourself();  repeat(); We empower women and underrepresented minorities to write their own success stories in tech. Join us and learn to code with purpose! 💻 #KalAcademy #WomenInTech  

🌐 Celebrating the First-Ever #WorldCodingDay! 🌐 Tuesday marked an important milestone as we celebrated World Coding Day — a day to recognise coding as a powerful force for innovation, creativity, and inclusivity. UNESCO’s focus on advancing diversity and digital literacy in programming is essential to creating a more inclusive digital world. It’s inspiring to think about the impact that more diversity in tech could have, not just for individuals but for society as a whole. Imagine the possibilities if we could double the proportion of women in tech — potentially adding up to €600 billion to global GDP by 2027! Imagine also if there is more neurodiversity in tech. Embracing different ways of thinking would only further enrich innovation and foster inclusive solutions to today’s challenges. As an advocate for future skills and EdTech, I’m excited to support initiatives that empower everyone, regardless of background, to shape and thrive in our digital future. Let’s continue to work towards an inclusive, diverse, and digitally skilled generation! #DigitalLiteracy #Innovation #DiversityInTech #Neurodiversity #EdTech #FutureSkills #WorldCodingDay

Breaking barriers and fostering diversity in the tech world! Traditionally male-dominated, coding has seen limited diversity. But thanks to Niall Maher and Codú, accessibility in coding education is taking center stage, empowering anyone passionate about coding, regardless of formal qualifications. Codú's mission is simple yet impactful: to make coding education inclusive and accessible to all. Through their courses and events, Niall has spearheaded a movement, enriching the tech industry with diversity and inclusivity. https://lnkd.in/dCF2bmSQ

As a Computer Scientist and advocate for youth in technology, I will deliver the keynote address at this year's Zongo Kids Coding Bootcamp. My talk, "Empowering Youth Through Technology for a Better Future," will focus on the transformative power of technology in shaping the lives and communities of young people especially in our Zongo and less privileged areas. It is imperative that we equip the next generation with the skills and knowledge to succeed in an increasingly technology-driven world. I look forward to inspiring and motivating these young minds to embrace technology and create a brighter future for themselves and their communities. Let us work together to build a more inclusive and innovative future for all. #ZongoKidsCodingBootcamp #ZongoVation #EmpoweringYouth #TechnologyForGood #InspiringTheNextGen"

🌟🚀 It's never too early to start coding! 🚀🌟 I'm currently on my second season as a trainer for pygirls.io, a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) initiative designed to teach Python to girls aged 12-18. Each week, we dive into the world of coding, unlocking new skills and possibilities! I strongly believe in the power of early exposure to technology—coding in particular. It’s crucial that we introduce young girls to coding early on to ignite their interest and dismantle the myth that coding is just for boys playing computer games (or, in my case, just something my dad did at work 🤓). By engaging them early, we can help broaden their horizons and ensure they are not sidelined in the tech field. If you know anyone - your daughter, sister, friend, etc., that could be interested, keep an eye out for the next round of PyGirls. Let's inspire the next generation of female tech leaders by showing them that coding is for everyone! 💪 Learn more here: https://pygirls.io/en/ #WomenInTech

Episode 15: Empowering Future Innovators: Why Women Must Code & Kode With Klossy A Kode With Klossy alumni Duru Çakır joined us today to talk about her experience. We need more girls who code to close the gender gap in technology and bring diverse perspectives that drive innovation. Coding empowers girls with valuable skills for high-paying jobs, enabling financial independence and breaking down stereotypes that coding is a "male" activity. Programs like Kode with Klossy are crucial because they provide a supportive environment specifically tailored for young women, making coding less intimidating. Sponsored by leading companies like Apple, Google, and Goldman Sachs, Kode with Klossy offers high-quality education in coding, focusing on practical applications through real-world projects. This hands-on experience not only enhances technical skills but also develops essential soft skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. The program’s emphasis on inclusivity and exposure to industry leaders further enriches the learning experience, inspiring participants to think ambitiously about their futures. By participating in Kode with Klossy, girls not only learn to code but also build a strong academic and professional profile, positioning themselves as future innovators in the tech industry. Join us to learn in a matter of “minutes” why women who code help build an equitable society for all women!  https://lnkd.in/dTCjTFYN
