In March, the CoderDojo Foundation launched their Girls Initiative , which aims to increase the average proportion of girls attending CoderDojo clubs from 29% to at least 40% over the next three years. Six months on, we wanted to highlight what we’ve done so far and what’s next for our initiative. What we’ve done so far To date, we have focussed our efforts on four key areas: Developing and improving content Conducting and learning from research Highlighting role models Developing a guide of tried and tested best practices for encouraging and sustaining girls in a Dojo setting ( Empowering the Future ) Content We’ve taken measures to ensure our resources are as friendly to girls as well as boys, and we are improving them based on feedback from girls.
