In summary, learning to code equips girls with the necessary skills to pursue an amazing career in the field of technology, and they will have a whole load of fun along the way! Despite these benefits and opportunities, however, there is a notable lack of women pursuing a career in computer science. There are of course barriers and setbacks that make it more challenging for girls to engage with coding and computer science. MakePi’s contribution, as far as breaking down the barriers, involves providing tools and educational resources needed to encourage an interest in coding. And we want girls to get involved as much as possible. Learn more about us at makepi.com
