Join us on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th of June for two interactive days full of learning and inspiration   For the first time in Merseyside over 60 girls, aged 11 to 18 years are invited to the Unilever Offices in Port Sunlight to take part in a two day experience to learn about: the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals practice Design Thinking explore the Kano Computer Kit the iamtheCODE iDEA Curriculum create with technology and code  Our aim is to address the STEAMED (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, Entrepreneurship and Design) skills shortage in the UK and to inspire the next generation of young women. Most of us have a vague idea that knowledge of computer science will help you get a job, but the actual numbers are pretty shocking. Software powers our economy, but less than 2.4 percent of college students and women graduate with a CS degree. That means there aren’t going to be enough graduates to fill the jobs. To make matters worse, 95 percent of our schools don’t teach programming.    That’s what we’re looking to change at iamtheCODE. Together we can work to create economic empowerment and inclusion through technology.  We have been working globally with technology hubs across Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe and for over two years with the Guildford Library in the Surrey. We have been running Global Digital Fridays, Hackathons, Makerdays, Geek Week, and BootCamps, offering a variety of workshops for participants from age 6 to 85. These hackathons are truly inspiring and are facilitated by Senegalese-born British Businesswoman Marieme Jamme (World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, Global Teacher Prize Academy member and an award-winning technologist).  By the end of the weekend, participants will have had the opportunity to: Decode the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (also known as the Global Goals) and understand key indicators that could drive social change Get hands-on with the iamtheCODE Design Thinking framework to build technology solutions related to the SDGs: Empathy, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test Make technology and create with code using Kano Kits  Use technology to design a solution to raise awareness around or address specific SDGs including Goals: Quality Education, Gender Equality, Life Below Water and Global Partnerships Win a prize! Girls must be accompanied by a teacher or an adult if under 16. All food and transportation will be provided. The Cost: FREE Prizes: Computer Kits, mentoring, and tee-shirts Get in touch with us:  Mariéme Jamme at marieme@iamthecode.org or David Connor at david.connor@the2030hub.com for more information about the event.
