Girls Coding Week

Girls Coding Week

This one week workshop aimed at empowering female teenagers between 11-14 years old with new and engaging ways of learning to code with the app Pocket Code. With Pocket Code girls designed games, stories, and own apps. Furthermore, they were introduced to LEGO®-Mindstorms EV3 robots, they were able to stitch creative programmed patterns with an embroidery machine on bags. Programming is super easy and cool – especially for girls! This concept for the “Girls Coding Week” will be offered again in summer 2019 (29.7-02.08.2019)
