Coding with Bravery, Resilience, Community, and Equity

Michaela Burger - Girls Who Code

At Girls Who Code, we believe that all girls are capable of making a positive impact on the world through computer science. In our session, participants will learn how to inspire and equip students in their communities with the computing skills, bravery, and resilience they need to succeed in the 21st century holistically and equitably. 

Participants will:

• Understand the gender gap in technology and the ways it affects student engagement. 
• Acquire techniques for facilitating inclusive programming, social-emotional learning, and fostering a growth-mindset in STEAM/CS settings
• Learn how to access free Girls Who Code resources for their communities - no previous CS experience required.
