As a parent, you want the best for your children, right? You want them to have every opportunity available. Whether its education or careers, you don’t want limits place on what your children can do and be. That’s why Lenovo and Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls are working to close the gender gap in the area of technology and give girls the same opportunities to learn and enjoy coding as boys have.
Lenovo has teamed up with Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls on a three-part video series spotlighting women in technology in support of LenovoGameState.com – a free, online destination for kids ages 13 and up. The site lets kids become part of a Code & Play Adventure, powered by Code Combat, where they can learn to code by playing a game. The more they play and learn, the more chances they have to win Lenovo products and a $2,500 scholarship to a coding school or camp.
The first video just premiered on Smart Girls’ Facebook, Instagram, and Twit
The third and final Smart Girls video celebrating Women in Technology will take viewers inside a mentoring session with Game Designer and Professor Tracy Fullerton of USC Games and teen members of Girls Who Code – a national non-profit organization dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology. Set to debut later this month, this virtual field trip is being shot inside the USC Innovation Lab, providing Girls Who Code tween and teenage-members with an inside look at what it’s like to code in college and professionally. Tracy Fullerton, director of the Game Innovation Lab at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, was recently featured in the New York Times as the lead designer for the beautiful new game, Walden.
Go ahead and offer a new range of opportunities to your girls. You can start today by letting your daughter try out coding in a fun environment, not to mention give her the opportunity to win lots of cool prizes… and yes of course, encourage your boys to enjoy the game too! They definitely won’t want to miss this one.
