{Code like a Girl}

Year 9 Coding workshop

Twenty-nine Year 9 girls recently enjoyed a coding workshop, run by the organisation Code Like a Girl.  Code Like a Girl is an Australian organisation that aims to inspire more females to pursue careers in coding and get involved in the creation and development of technology. Their workshops aim at bringing together local talents and girls, from various education and career backgrounds, who are curious or passionate about coding and technology to learn, connect and celebrate each other's achievements.  This session was aimed at developing knowledge and interest in Coding in preparation for the area being offered as a course to Year 9s and 10s through the Northcote Model in 2018. In the workshop, participants learnt how to work through a design brief to begin making a website.  Thanks to David Macindoe (Science Faculty) for organising the event.
