The world today is governed by technology. Getting an early
start can improve one's understanding of how our connected world
works and helps one make more informed decisions. This is our
initiative in promoting Women in Technology.
Literature examining the impact of women in the workplace —
specifically women collaborating on teams and in leadership
roles — demonstrates the need for and impact of having more
women in technology. Greater gender diversity in technology can
impact businesses’ bottom lines and promote fairness across
genders.
We believe in providing equal opportunity for all and this is
our part in doing the same.
This was yet another successful series of mentoring Changemakers
to create extraordinary impact in their communities.
With this project we aim to engage youth especially young women
in the field of technology. The session was on the basics of web
development, wherein we taught how to build a website from
scratch.
The two sessions took place on the 19th and the 26th of December
2020 respectively and it went on for more than 2 hours per
session with immense outreach and learning! Selected students
from grade 4 to grade 12 were present in the session from the
Little Angel Study Center
in Phillipines
My humble thanks to Cris, for joining hands to be part of
this!
The first session invited 30 participants, aged 10-24 years old,
taught by 5 mentors from Siree
We started off the session by introducing the respective
mentors, facilitators and organisations and the agenda for the
day. Moved into breakout rooms of 4 with 7 people in each room
respectively, had an interactive session on website building. In
the end we convened back in the main meeting to close the
session on feedback from both mentors and facilitators and a fun
social media pictures!
We had two back to back sessions -- in the first session we
covered the basics of HTML and the starting tags.
First Session
We covered the html, head, title,
body, header, paragraph tags.
Second Session
We covered the ordered, unordered
lists, table tags and CSS
Each of the students made a starter website and shared that on
social media.
