PARTNERING WITH GIRLS WHO CODE

This Game Jam is a testament to Code Ninja's commitment to making coding accessible to all, especially to empower girls during Women's History Month. We're proudly partnering with Girls Who Code to create a Game Jam that inspires and educates girls by providing them with the tools, knowledge, and platform to embark on a journey in computer science.

PARTNERING WITH MICROSOFT MAKECODE

{ MAKING THE CODE WORK }

“Game Jams are a great way to learn, express your creativity, connect, and collaborate with others. Microsoft MakeCode is thrilled to be partnering with Code Ninjas and Girls Who Code on a special ‘Female Game Changers” themed Game Jam this month! With still only 26% female representation in the technology industry, games are a great way to engage young women and spark their interest in future careers in tech."
