Last month we had a great start to the virtual Girls Into Coding events.
We had a really good turn out and received some amazingly encouraging feedback from the girls & their parents.
My last face-to-face GIC event was in early March. Then COVID-19 struck. With the safety of our girls & the wider community in mind coupled with the lock down restrictions, it was no longer possible to hold physical, face-to-face events.
On Sunday the 1st of March we held Girls Into Coding #6 at the Microsoft Reactor. This was an exciting time as the previous event was so successful, so I could not wait to experience it all over again.
On January the 11th, it was the first Coderdojo back at Kingston University, and it was now 2020! To kick things off, I ran a Bitbot workshop.
2020 is almost here! I recap on an amazing 2019 and I have pieced together a video highlighting my key moments. Thank you, everybody, for your continued support in my mission!
Girls into Coding #5 (GIC5) was on Saturday the 3rd of November, which surprisingly came around quite quickly, despite the last one being at the end of July.
On Saturday the 12th of October, after the amazing buzz of the first CoderDojo of the season, I was ready to get back into action for the second CoderDojo at Kingston University.
Saturday the 14th of September, the first CoderDojo of the 2019-2020 season! For this opening session, I decided to run a workshop using Bitbot because it’s got so many cool features you can expand on.
On Sunday the 21st of July, it was time for Girls Into Coding #4! After several days of preparation for this event, I was so excited to be welcomed back to the Microsoft Reactor space. As usual, we delivered three exciting workshops –
On Saturday the 13th of July, I ran two robotics workshops at the STEMettes Future Summit. The event was sponsored by and took place at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch in London.
