Saturday, Nov. 12 is National Girls Learning Code Day, and local community partners have come together to help girls start coding, and help the community explore the gender gap in the tech sector.
The first event, a Girls Learning to Code workshop, is a fun hands-on introduction to code for girls aged 8 to 12 using Scratch (www.scratch.mit.edu), an internationally acclaimed easy programming language for kids. The workshop will be held in Capilano University’s computer lab, so registrants do not need their own equipment.
