Girls Meets Code - A Free Summer Programme for Girls Interested in Coding and Technology
Who is GT Scholars?
GT Scholars is an education organisation that runs tutoring, mentoring and career insight programmes for young people aged 11-18. They work collaboratively with schools, volunteers and parents to create positive outcomes for young people.
Why is GT Scholars running this programme?
Women make up around 50% of the workforce in the UK. However, in the tech industry, only 24% of roles are filled by women. There are approximately 2 million jobs in technology, and tech employers are actively seeking to increase the diversity in their workplace and hire more women into challenging, well-paid careers within this industry.
Programme details
The Girl Meets Code programme is for girls aged 12-16 living in London who are interested in learning about the world of technology and coding. The girls will participate in practical projects and team-building activities that do not require any previous coding experience. They will learn from industry role models and mentors and get the chance to ask questions about careers in technology.
