We want to make girls, women and non-binary coders more visible
She Can Code began as an online event in 2018. The event celebrated the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in Aotearoa by recognising the girls, women, and non-binary people who write much of our inventive code. The aim was to get as many girls, woman and non-binary people coding as possible, even if they had never coded before. The event was so successful that we decided to run She Can Code every year during Tech Week. She Can Code is an initiative of Digital Future Aotearoa.
Check out our Past Events. We hold a She Can Code event every year during Tech Week! If you are a teacher we also have classroom resources from our events for you to use.
Read our Coder Stories. We interview women and non-binary people who work as coders in Aotearoa – a group underrepresented in the tech industry. The interviews aim to provide role models and advice for girls and non-binary youth who want to work as coders.
Want to give coding a go? There are clubs all around Aotearoa and free projects available online at Code Club Aotearoa.
"She Can Code is the most meaningful competition I've witnessed in a long time" – Jaco, teacher
