GIRLS CODE


CREATING WITH TECHNOLOGY

Description

#GirlsCode is a group of women dedicated to science and technology, convinced that children and adolescents deserve the opportunity to enter to the world of computing,
The existence of stereotypes usually limited to women to develop scientific skills but, with Girls Code we do activities to help girls to demonstrate their full potential,
Thats why we share our knowledge through workshops and robotics programming aimed at girls between 6 and 13 years so, they can learn to use technology in different areas, regardless of the profession who want to follow in the future.
