Girls Code Fun (girlscodefun.pl/en)
I thought I’d cracked it as a parent when my daughter showed signs of reading and writing in a third language, then I met Karolina Cikowska, co-founder of Girls/Kids for Code! She politely informed me the language of the future is ‘code’. As a technophobe the conversation was foreign to me, and after reading their webpage a zillion times I realized I have more chance of mastering Polish. But the importance, particularly for girls to get involved, was loud and clear: today’s world is dominated by software.The workshops develop an appreciation for how things work, build on self-confidence and problem solving skills, so the earlier children start the better equipped they will be to understand and even create tomorrow’s technology. ‘Kids for Code’ classes for kids 3-19 (ENG/PL) start mid-September and the good news is you can reserve online in plain English.
