First part of the year was strongly focused on the Scratch education for the girls in primary schools. We have started to work with this target group last year and the results are so nice! There are no biases in their heads, no prejudices, no fear. We can motivate them, learn them new skills and build a new generation of Slovak tech girls.
As a final of all Scratch workshop, the competition ScratchMatch is organized.
Girls from this target group also participated at Girls Game Lab, focused on Java Script coding. Lab happened for 15 weeks consecutively and at the end, girls created their own games or postcards. The final event happened together with their parents, so we can discuss with them about the necessity to support their daughter in their IT steps.
High school girls follow their Coding Clubs. New topics arrived in the curricula, 2D/3D printing, graphic design, AI in architecture. We can enlarge Coding Clubs from Bratislava to other towns, as Trencin, Martin and Kosice. The strong community of these girls is rising.
For mature women, we follow our Academies. Starting with testing, data analytics, the next ready are in machine learning, automotive testing and python. Wow. What a wonderful woman we could put together!!
