Why Go CODE Girl?

Today, software forms the backbone of our interconnected and digital world. This includes everything from smart machines, to communication systems, to cars. Coding is the ability to read and write in a language that a computer can understand so that you can instruct a computer to perform complex tasks. Learning to code increases digital confidence, promotes problem-solving, and fosters creativity (which can apply to almost any discipline)!

Go CODE Girl will help inspire and equip girls with the digital skills, confidence, and mentorship they need to pursue an education in technology, computing, and engineering, which correlate to some of the fastest growing industries in Canada! We invite you to bring a friend (or parent/ guardian) to glimpse into the world of coding; it is for everyone and there is no experience required!

Why is this necessary?

Today, software forms the backbone of our interconnected and digital world. This includes everything from smart machines, to our communication systems to the cars we drive. Coding is the ability to read and write in a language that a computer can understand so that you can instruct a computer how to perform complex tasks. Learning to code can lead to increased digital confidence, a different way of thinking about problems and the ability to understand and use technology to help develop creative solutions in almost any discipline.

Go CODE Girl will educate, inspire and equip girls with the digital skills, confidence, and resources needed to pursue an education in technology, computing, and engineering. Careers in technology, computing, and engineering are the fastest growing industry.
