Girls Can Code

by Fabrice Perez | Dec 18, 2024 | News

This weekend, our school hosted its second Girls Can Code course, aimed at encouraging young girls to discover the fascinating world of programming and develop essential skills in science and technology.

On the first morning, around thirty participants gathered for breakfast before embarking on a day dedicated to computing and programming. Supervised by students from various computer science schools, they were able to take part in a wide range of activities based on the Python language. The workshops were adapted to all levels, from beginners to the most advanced, so that everyone could progress at their own pace.

The following day, speakers from a variety of professional backgrounds shared their careers and experiences with the participants. Female engineers, developers and entrepreneurs took the time to discuss their projects, the challenges they have faced and the opportunities they have seized in their careers. Their presence reinforced the idea that women have their place in the technology sector and that they can excel in it.

A big thank you to all the speakers, Rosa De Miguel, Yasmina Auguste, Nathalie Canu, Emilie Feral, to the organisers, and to the participants for their enthusiasm and energy. This Girls Can Code weekend will remain an unforgettable memory and a source of inspiration for our students.

For the Maths lab, Mrs Bonacucina and Founaud

Following last year's success, our school is taking part again this year in the national “Passe ton hack d'abord” cybersecurity competition. Several high school teams have signed up: Bradwurst, Pikachu, TopGirls, SpiceGirls, OR1=1', Ratatouille, Lumière Rouge, NSI Coins, etc... We wish them the best of luck!

Co-organized by the French army Commandement de la cyberdéfense (COMCYBER) and National Education ministry, the capture the flag “Passe ton hack d’abord_” (Pass your Hack first_) initiates high school students in cybersecurity as a complement to school programs, and stimulates their interest in this field.

A capture the flag (CTF) is a game composed of a series of technical challenges linked to computing and networks. Of varying difficulty, it leads, if successful, to the discovery of a “Flag”, a secret string of characters validating the obtaining of points. Here, the theme is computer security: the participant will have to solve 15 tests accessible online on the subjects of programming, networking, steganography and cryptography.

Cybersecurity involves protecting computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks and data from malicious attacks. It is also called computer security or information systems security.

Cyber defense brings together all the physical and virtual means put in place by a country as part of computer warfare.

Placed under the direct authority of the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, the commandement de la cyberdéfense (COMCYBER) is an operational command, which brings together all of the ministry's cyberdefense forces under a joint authority. Its mission is the defense of information systems, as well as the design, planning and conduct of military operations in cyberspace.
