Girls coding and building new network at IT-Camp
20 young girls attended an IT-camp at the Faculty of Technology, where they were introduced to everything from Scrum to Python, student life and met representatives from both LEGO and local Hesehus. The event is part of the faculty's many initiatives to attract more girls to study at TEK.
Why attend IT-Camp for girls at TEK? We asked some of the participants what it was like to be there when 20 girls spent two days at the faculty.
For the girls, it's about looking at education and meeting other girls who want to get into the boy-dominated subjects. Even if they may have already decided to go down the engineering route, like 24-year-old Eva Rindom, who made the trip to Odense from Kolding.
- I was pretty set in my mind. But I've got more of a feel for what computer science involves. We've learned a lot about code that I can take with me to the computer science course, which I'm looking forward to, says Eva Rindom, who is on sabbatical and had been on a trip around financial economics. It was too boring, though, so she dropped out and is looking forward to learning more code and data.
