Girls Who Code is an organization dedicated to encouraging girls to do something in which they seem intrinsically disinterested — programming computers.
This isn't out of a need for more programmers, though. It's to "close the gender gap" in the programming trade. In other words, they're woke as fuck. Go to their homepage and play "spot the white Girl Who Codes."
For a couple of years before COVID emptied out my workplace, we participated in Girls Who Code events where junior high / high school aged girls toured our development department, and they asked for volunteers to mentor girls to help them learn to program.
I thought about volunteering, but I selfishly decided opening myself to potentially life-destroying accusations wasn't a priority for me.
BTW, it no longer goes without saying that there's nothing wrong with being white. In fact, saying so will get you ostracized from mainstream Democratic circles. The FBI investigated "It's okay to be white" posters as hate crimes.
Thanks for explaining that
Holy shit lol
It seems to me that coding is going to be one of those things employers won't HAVE to look for, because aren't little kids being trained to do that with toys and games now? I heard something about Roblox being for this? It'll be as common a skill as driving in the up and coming generation.
I'm over 50, and the last time I learned anything about programming was Commodore Basic. Colour me dinosaur. I guess I should check out Roblox.
Roblox is a virtual world where you can also model and code games. I'm not sure how well it serves as a training device, but most kids only ever go there to play the games. It's a bit like the Dead Internet theory. 9% of people engage with others, 1% actually create any new content. 90% of users just consume. They don't learn anything.
The coding part is mostly a boys thing.
