Description of the event
iamtheCODE is a pioneering African-led initiative driving a global movement in STEAMED education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, Entrepreneurship, and Design). Our mission is to mobilize governments, the private sector, philanthropic entities, and civil society to invest in future technologies. This investment aims to foster sustainable development for women, girls, and youth in marginalized communities worldwide. A core tenet of our work is empowering women and girls, directly aligning with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (S.D.G.s). Our goal is ambitious yet achievable: to enable 1 million young women and girls to become coders by 2030. On the 27th of April, young refugee girls from Kakuma Refugee Camp will gather to code and develop solutions.
