The Israeli tech industry is well recognized for its exceptional achievements and places Israel at the forefront of today's technological innovators, but only 20% of tech employees in Israel are women. QueenB was founded by Computer Science students at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who were disheartened by the low number of women enrolled in the Computer Science major, and decided to actively make a difference. We offer weekly coding classes for teenage girls after school. The sessions combine social activities, and are available in Hebrew and Arabic, in more than 20 different locations across Israel. Our classes require no prior experience or special interest in tech, and our instructors are Computer Science university students, who receive a scholarship for their mentorship. As students learn to code with us in junior high, we encourage them to take on Computer Science as a major in high school.
