Girls in computing
Welcome to this blog that aims at lifting the important topic of girls and their important role in professions associated mainly with computers. When we visualize a programmer; a web developer; a hacker or just any random computer game nerd unfortunately most of us see a guy before us. Why is that? There are so many phenomenal women on computers out there, doing amazing work within all fields, but there is room for a lot more.
Women are needed in the future of computer associated jobs so we need to encourage girls to develop their skills within these fields. There are so many branches withing the very wide concept of computers - technological, mathematical, creative, artistic and even hands-on work in construction so "computers" cater for a wide range of skills.
