She Codes for Change

She Codes for Change seeks to nurture young girls to develop interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Design and Mathematics (STEAM) careers at early stage of their careers choices through basic coding skills. We target three groups 1. Girls aged 12-19 years old, 2. Female college and university students and 3. Male and female STEAM teachers. We also work with other key stakeholders from the public and private sectors to advocate for and implement strategies for involving more girls in computer studies as part of their learning. Our key strategies include nurturing interest among girls in high school to pursue STEAM subjects by working with their schools to introduce ICT training, Inspiring college and University undergraduates to pursue careers in tech and support young female startup founders in their entrepreneurial journey. We aim to increase the number of women working in computing and technology in Tanzania. We foresee She Codes empowering women in the market place and boosting the earning power of those who will graduate from our programmes.
