Are you interested in introducing girls and women to technology? Part of a program that empowers them and shows the beauty of computer science? Want to start a new one, or join others?

Our workshop deals with the process of planning a new program, or iterating on an existing one. We will use the experience of many existing programs in the field and research findings to talk about goals, activities and tensions.

The workshop will help you:

Formalize your goals and vision for the program.
Design activities and methods to advance those goals, taking into account your unique situation.
Familiarize yourself with other programs in the field, through a library of methods and activities.
Learn about pressing issues in the field like inclusion, working with commercial companies, and scaling up.
