new school year new project- for girls

[Medea Baccifava]

Hello everyone!

We are planning a new interesting project.

It is teaching girls to code! (mostly minority ones)

Who would like to participate? 

Any suggestion for schools to contact?

I am interested, at the same time this semester I will also go for a fellowship + vacation that might interfere with the schedule.

Cheers,

how about the next set up

1. english speaking

2. especially for girl, but open for everyone (tricky)

3. not for minorities 

motivations:

1. http://www.girlswhocode.com/about-us/

2. a real situation: frind of mine (girl, around 30 with two children) called me that they support an NGO which needs a simple website. And she was looking for an engineer who can help. 

3.  my wife: who was told when she was 6 that girls should be nice but not smart.

In Budapest we have a geek girl club, that I have already contacted yesterday.

Perhaps they will have some smart idea about candidate schools.

I would be also open to pick 5 schools in Budapest where we would communicate the program, than let see how many girl shows up.

But would we use the same tool like last time? Codehs?

Hi,

I'm interested, but I move to the usa for a few months with my fellow startup guys in the very end of september.
But until that it's totally okay.
