Our Programs
Code Goddess aims to encourage young girls to study computer sceince
In the last few decades there's a feeling that we, as a society, slowly break the chains of traditional gender roles. However, still today, many women and especially teen girls, are discouraged from studying professions that are perceived as "male" oriented. Specifically in the areas of STEM (sicence, technology, engineering and mathematics).
We aim to encourage and promote girls who whish to study CS, and to help them develop a belief in their capabillities and an interest in the field. We believe that a positive experience in STEM could be a prominenet factor in a future career choice.
Join one of our workshops and get the chance to hear about CS, the multiple possibilities it encompasses, to hear personal stories and meet successful women from the fields of CS and technology!
No previous experience required, everyone is invited!
My First App
We reach to 9th grade girls, just before they choose their major, and encourage them to experiment in developing an android app using AppInventor. The workshop length is about 3 hours, and it consists of app building and a Q&A panel.

AppInventor
AppInventor is programming-by-blocks environemt developed in MIT. It allows anyone, with no previous experience whatsover, to plan and develop applications for android devices.

The Workshop
Code Goddess workshops are about 3 hours long, in whihc we develop a "paint" application for android.
The application development consists of the following steps:
- Creating a Google account (if needed)
- Introduction to AppInventor's envrionment and creating a new project
- Designing the app's interface
- Developing the app's code
- Testing the application and installing it on an android device
After the application development, we have a Q&A panel.
The Panel
This is your chance to as anything about CS in particualr or STEM in general!
How do you choose a major? What it's like to work in CS? What does it even mean?
