-

 Greensboro’s iCode computer coding school will launch its latest program Code Queens on Tuesday, November 7.


With Code Queens, iCode aims to transform young girls who live in and around the Greater Greensboro area into the women leaders of a digital future – all in the hopes of bridging the gender gap within tech industries.


“It is important that women are represented in technology-based careers,” says Mavis Owusu, franchise owner-operator and director of iCode Greensboro. 


She adds: “Men are four times more likely to be IT specialists, and we can close that gap by educating our girls about technology and computer programming so that they know these careers are not just for boys.”
