Queen Margaret College is excited to be part of She Can Code, a celebration of girls and women coding in Aotearoa. 2018 marks the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in Aotearoa. With Techweek this month, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the girls and women who write much of Aotearoa’s code. The aim of She Can Code is to get as many girls and woman coding as possible and to share stories of our amazing coders using the hashtags #SheCanCode and #QMCCanCode
The official She Can Code event runs from May 19-27, and we aim to have as many QMC girls as possible coding during this week, so as to be eligible to win prizes . However, you can start coding anytime by going to She Can Code, going to the Projects page (at the top of the screen) and choose between Scratch, HTML/CSS, or Python based coding projects. Find a project and level that suits you are you are away! Our official club meet time is every Monday – Thursday from 1pm in W3, and Mr Knuckey will be there to help get you started. All you need to bring is your laptop and a willingness to have fun while learning! Once you are up and away, you are of course welcome to code at home.
Important note: Even if you’ve never coded before, you can take part!
I look forward to seeing you there.
Mr Knuckey
