We are a charity that drives diversity in the technology industry by enabling minority groups to learn programming in a safe and collaborative environment. We help them build upon their programming skills and increase employability, helping them to pursue a career in technology.
Women in the UK make up 46% of the workforce, but in technology that number drops significantly to less than 20%. And we're trying to change that!
We organise and facilitate free programming workshops in 33 cities around the world including: London, Brighton, Cambridge, Manchester, Edinburgh, Berlin, Barcelona, Sydney, and New York City. The full list of chapters can be found on our website - codebar.io.
We also run one-off events that focus on helping our community secure a job in technology, such as contributing to Open Source, mindful code, getting started in the tech industry, and more.
Whenever we can, we also offer opportunities to our students to attend leading programming conferences so they can build upon their skills and network with like-minded people.
