Programming is hard and it requires a lot of work, there’s no doubt about this, but what’s even harder is to get over the false assumptions that being a programmer requires to be of a certain gender or that you need a special talent or, even worse, that you’re born with this talent. That’s why our events’ main focus is to destroy these myths by creating concepts specifically designed to encourage women and girls to not only join or switch to programming but to also stay in this field:

• We encourage programmer females to come forward and speak about their career path, about their hard work and great accomplishments, in order to build in the female collective consciousness a female programmer stereotype with whom every aspiring programmer girl can identify.
• We create and nurture collaborative mixed environments, like hackathons, where guys and gals team up, together with their diversities, to solve real-world problems.
• We make our events as fun as possible especially when we introduce programming to women or girls who desire to learn it in order to bring their ideas to life but are afraid that they’re “too late to the party”.
