Access to education is critical in empowering young women to enter traditionally male-dominated fields like web development. That's why Plan International implemented the Young Tech (Tech Muda II) program in Indonesia to help young women like Tasyah succeed in the IT industry. Participants learn web programming or digital marketing skills, and are also taught leadership and social skills to help them further their careers, with a focus on breaking down gender barriers. Today on National Programmer’s Day, we’re highlighting the remarkable impact STEM education can have for women and girls. After receiving specialized coding training, Tasyah is now working as a web programmer for a social media company. Watch the video to learn more about the impact of learning coding skills for Tasyah! #GirlsinSTEM #WomeninSTEM #GirlsWhoCode #ProgrammersDay
