Event Description

Join us for a webinar covering everything you need to know to launch a Girls Who Code Club in your library and affiliate yourself with the SEFLIN partnership! In 1995, women made up almost 40 percent of the computing workforce. Today, women make up less than 25 percent. With the tech industry booming, we have a duty to not only equip our girls with CS skills but also provide a safe and supportive environment of peers and role models where girls learn to see themselves as computer scientists. Girls Who Code is working to close the gender gap in technology and we are on track to reach gender parity in 2027. In 2018, we launched 280 clubs in Florida, we are looking to triple that number. Let’s dive deep into a free and flexible program for 3-5th and 6-12th grade girls that features Women in Tech Spotlights, Impact projects, and 120 languages of coding curriculum to choose from. Are you ready to join the movement?
