CodingGirls, featured by Fondazione Mondo Digitale, is an educational initiative that aim to introduce high schoolers to programming, data science, and analytical thinking. The program combined lectures, tutorials, and a final hackathon at Università degli Studi di Milano, where students applied what they learned and presented their project to a panel of judges from academia and industry.
I was invited to present CodingGirls at the STEM Women Congress, where I discussed the program’s impact and the importance of early exposure to coding and data literacy among young women. The initiative has also been featured in the press:
