Inspiring Women to Fall in Love with Programming.

Inspiring Women to Fall in Love with Programming.

By 2020 7 million jobs will disappear due to robotics and smart technology and only 2 million will be replaced with new jobs. This disproportionately affects women. In this talk I discuss why this is a problem and possible ways to combat it. Django Girls is an initiative to inspire more women to fall in love with programming and has been very successful. I want to exam how we can support and guide the women that are inspired by the Django Girls workshops with looking at 'What's Next?". Django Girls Seoul has started a code camp curriculum to go back to the basics with Python, Django, HTML, CSS and Git. We're always looking for contributions to help our community grow!
