Inspire Girls to Code: Made with Code, opportunities, challenges and realities.
Overall, when it comes to coding, the sad reality is
that, much are always called, but few are chosen. Because, see ,yourself as a strong coder, requires a lot patience, research,
motivations, endurance, communication, and strategies to name a few. This reality
unfortunately leads to numerous reluctances, fears and lacks of motivations among
young people.

of a set of tools, methodologies, technologies and good practices, the
availability of numerous platforms and programs across the world, we can reverse
this trend, and we have a growing opportunities to mitigate these reluctances and move
forward.
