If you were patiently waiting on more details about Impact Hub’s Code Is Female initiative we finally have the starting dates.

From the 9th of August, young girls between 13 to 24 (initially it was 16 but it seems there’s been a shift) will be able to participate in the program “designed to be a comprehensive coding course aimed at equipping young girls with tools and knowledge necessary to harness the great potential available in this new era.”

Outside that the programme has 3 primary aims:
