Girls Into Coding

Girls Into Coding Girls into Coding is a Community Interest Company(CIC) and a mother and daughter run social enterprise. We are a mother and daughter-run social enterprise.

We engage girls in STEM activities, education, and careers supporting them through hands-on workshops and events. GIRLS INTO CODING
Girls Into Coding provides girls aged 10 to 14 with unique hands-on experience in physical computing, robotics, coding, engineering and 3D printing. Our workshop events are led by a range of tech expert and mentors, including girls in the same age range as the attende

es. Our vision is to see girls and women engaged in tech & engineering activities, education & careers - equally comfortable, with an equal sense of belonging, and in equal numbers. Our aim is to engage at least 10000 girls a year with hands-on meaningful workshop opportunities, educational content, inspiring talks and outreach

WE ENGAGE GIRLS IN TECH AND ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES SUPPORTING THEM THROUGH HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS

OUR STORY AND WHO WE ARE
Avye is now a 18-year-old student and passionate about Tech. In 2018, already a coder, maker and workshop leader she came up with the idea of organising coding events for girls, after repeatedly observing that most attendees at her workshops were boys. She was determined to encourage more girls to give STEM a go. As a result, she decided to set up โ€˜Girls Into Codingโ€™, a series of events targeting girls. Girls into Coding provides extracurricular opportunities for girls between the ages of 10 and 14. Weโ€™ve created workshops events to immerse young people in a range of tech & engineering activities. Girls into Coding is a Community Interest Company (CIC) and is regulated by the CIC regulator since February 2020.

This note from a parent after Friday's bootcamp made our whole weekend. ๐Ÿ’› (see the quote card). Thank you for taking the time to share this.

Moments like this are why we do this work. Every bootcamp is built to give girls hands-on time with tech and engineering, and to help them leave feeling more confident than when they walked in. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐Ÿค–

Thank you to our incredible mentors and volunteers who gave their time on the day, and to the parents for helping to make this possible and for your kind words. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

Exciting news ๐ŸŽ‰
Girls Into Coding has been selected for the Southwark Impact Growth Studio, delivered by Foundervine in partnership with Southwark Council.

This programme supports growth-stage social enterprises like ours to scale sustainably, strengthening our business model, building investment readiness, and helping us take real steps toward our Makerspace ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ

Since 2018, we've reached over 20,000 girls through workshops, events, talks, inspirational content, and outreach, working to empower more girls into tech and engineering.

Grateful for the opportunity, and looking forward to what's ahead!

Can young people change the direction of smart city development? We think the answer is yes ๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Our latest Girls Into Coding article looks at how children and young people are already helping shape the cities of the future, from EU-funded climate projects to neighbourhood mapping schemes that feed directly into local planning decisions.

Urban populations are getting younger, and if planners don't listen to the people who'll live in these cities the longest, they risk building places that don't work for anyone. Giving young people a voice now doesn't just lead to better cities, it helps empower more girls into tech and engineering by showing them their ideas matter.

What an afternoon! โšก

Yesterday, our girls built and powered their own renewable energy systems, wind turbines, solar generators, all of it. They wrote the code to feed power into a "grid" and watched their houses light up.

They tested different designs, tweaked and optimised their generators, then went head-to-head to see who could generate the most power. The competition was fierce, the laughter louder, and the atmosphere in that room was electric (pun intended).

Huge congratulations to our winning pair (Possum Power)! ๐Ÿ†

Thank you to our brilliant mentors and volunteers for making the day run so smoothly, and to BBC Children in Need and Good Hotel London for supporting us and this event!

On Wednesday, I moderated a panel at the UN AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva with four of the world's leading AI scientists: Yoshua Bengio, Joรซlle Barral, Vukosi Marivate, and Yutaka Matsuo.

Every question I asked put young people at the centre.

At one point, I raised the question: if young people aren't in the room where decisions are being made, whose problems are actually being solved? The panel agreed that they aren't, and that this is a problem. That moment also opened up a wider point. The conversation has to include the realities of young people from places like Africa, where AI needs to work for entirely different life experiences, not just the ones this room assumes.

The people shaping AI are mostly not young. The people whose lives it will shape most are.

That gap is worth talking about.

What a day. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ
On Sunday, our final workshop of the Tech For Change project was everything we hoped for and more. Girls designing, building, and hands-on with real engineering challenges. Robots taking shape. Hydroelectric generators coming to life. A room full of energy, curiosity, and pride.

Our volunteer engineers led the workshops from start to finish, the moment this whole project has been building towards. And two incredible guest speakers, Patience Ndlovu and Marisa Kurimbokus, inspired every girl in the room with their journeys in engineering.

Thank you to the Royal Academy of Engineering Ingenious scheme for making this project possible, and to Civo Tech Junction for hosting us beautifully.

Girls building. Girls leading. Girls inspiring each other. That's GIC.๐Ÿ› ๏ธ ๐Ÿค–

This Sunday, something special is happening. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ

Together with our volunteer engineers, we have spent months designing, building, and testing two brand new engineering workshops. They started as shadows and are now leading the room. Girls will be designing, engineering, and discovering how technology can power our world.
Joining us on the day, two brilliant engineers sharing their journeys with the girls: Patience Ndlovu, cloud infrastructure engineer, and Marisa Kurimbokus, Chartered Engineer and Young Woman Engineer of the Year 2024.
This is the final event of our Tech For Change project, supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering Ingenious scheme. We cannot wait! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

What a day at Imperial College London! ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

On Sunday, we brought girls together for a hands-on day of AI, robotics, and physical computing, supported by City Bridge Foundation
City Bridge Foundation.

We also heard from Gayatri Rajgor, who gave a brilliant talk: "You Don't Have to Be a 'Tech Person' to Work in Tech."

It was a scorcher, but that didn't stop them. Building, coding, and problem-solving, heat and all ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ

Proud of every girl who showed up and got stuck in.
