Girls Who Code is an organization I wish I had experienced during my childhood. As a teenager, I avidly taught myself how to code and design using Frontpage and Dreamweaver, and I would have eagerly participated in a program like this if it had existed.
When offered the opportunity to teach high school students in New York, New Jersey, and remotely across the United States, I embraced the chance to give back and serve young girls interested in technology. Despite my then focus on developing ideas around MVP and Lean Methodologies, the program I provided aimed to provide a deeper understanding of User Experience (UX), User Storytelling, and Prototyping.
With only 60 minutes to work with, I sought to create a unique experience by combining these concepts from idea to launch.
