Subject: [Michlib-l] Girls Who Code webinar


Girls Who Code, the national non-profit dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology is seeking libraries to host its Clubs programs. Computing skills are the most sought-after in the US job market, with demand growing 3X the national average. Computing is where the jobs are - and where they will be in the future - but girls across the US are being left behind. Today, less than a quarter of computing jobs are held by women, and that number is declining.

About Clubs:
Clubs are FREE after-school programs for 6-12th grade girls to use computer science to impact their community and join our sisterhood of supportive peers and role models. They can be hosted in schools, universities, libraries, community centers, faith-based organizations, or nonprofits. Clubs are led by Facilitators, who can be teachers, computer scientists, librarians, parents, or volunteers from any background or field. Many Facilitators have NO technical experience and learn to code alongside their Club members.

Please join the staff of Girls Who Code, as they present this webinar to explain more about Clubs and how to launch a Club for girls in your community.
This free webinar opportunity is shared by the Missouri State Library. Please see the registration link for details.
