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
