Because All Girls Belong in Tech
Ada Lovelace was not only a countess in the 1800s, she was also the first computer programmer—and she is the inspiration for Camp Ada, an inclusive coding camp for girls+.
The + in this description is important to us at Infoblox, because it means that every girl is welcomed to this safe learning environment plus students who do not identify with the gender binary and/or identify as trans. At Infoblox, we embrace all kinds of diversity.
We strongly believe we need more diversity in the tech industry, and coding camps for girls+ is a great start. Attendees will learn the basics of coding and work together to compete in coding challenges to test their new skills. This four-day camp is designed to help attendees learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively—skills important not only in a technology career, but in life.
