36 girls from 15 territorial district in Moldova will participate in first 2-week long computing summer camp for girls between the ages of 16 and 20, to learn how to build web app development, as a result, build a web based project for their communities. The camp is due from 17th to 30th of August.<\/p>\n

The 2-week long program has an agenda to teach girls 21st century programming languages such as Python and Flask, HTML + CSS and Bootstrap. As part of the process before girls arriving at the camp, each participants will prepare a project idea to develop while learning coding and programming. As a result, they will build a web application to promote their project in their community.<\/p>\n

The organizers of this program think that “having a project based approach will foster critical thinking, coding and programming skills amongst girls rather than focusing purely on computer science. This approach will also stimulate their entrepreneurial skills, team building and communication skills”.<\/p>\n

GirlsGoIT computing summer camp is implemented by Google for Education, one of the leading IT companies in Moldova, Endava is also playing a major role. Moldcell, Moldova\u2019s mobile telecommunication is a proud partner, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Youth and Sport. Spark Lab is also an implementing partner, building the curriculum and agenda of the summer camp<\/p>\n

After the summer camp, the next-step is to equip the 36 girls as ambassadors, with tools to setup GirlGoIT Local Chapters in their territories, engaging more girls from their communities into computing skills. In November 2015, there will be organised a 3 days\u2019 workshop conference in design-thinking for the girls to plan 8 months activities for their local chapters, each chapters will be assigned with a coach with IT and entrepreneurial skills to guide support girls and the creation of local chapters for the duration of 8 months. In the long run, this local chapters will become centres for tech hub initiatives in rural communities and inspire upcoming talents for Moldova digital economy. The local chapter creation will be implemented through the financial support of the Department of State from the US Government and the German Embassy in Moldova.<\/p>\n

The program is also involving parents, informatics teachers and librarians in the decision process of setting up the local chapters. On the 7th of August, 2015, Novateca will be hosting a focus group meeting for GirlsGoIT, inviting parents, librarians, informatics teachers, civil society organisations, IT companies and mobile telecommunication companies to discuss the opportunities and impact the creation of the local chapters will bring into communities.<\/p>\n

GirlsGoIT is a 2 years framework jointly developed by UN Women, eGovernment Center, Novateca, ATIC and TEKEDU has already initiated the plan for 2016 computer science summer camp. The edition will have 2 tracks, Mobile App Development for Advance track and Web App Development for Basic track.<\/p>\n

The advance track “Mobile App Development” will target existing programmers with basic skills to learn and enhance their knowledge on how to build mobile apps. While the basic track “Web App Development” will bring in 36 girls from new territorial districts with no previous experience in coding or programming to learn how to build web app and for their community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
