The second day webinar on the theme “Learn to Code” was taken by Mrs.Neha Parveen , Full stack engineer at Edapt on 22/04/2020. She also shared her experiences throughout the session.The session focused on Why is it important to teach programming to girls? .Coding is empowering and gives girls an equal shot. It increases their odds of having well-paid STEM jobs. Those jobs also have a potential to reduce the pay gap and boost the average woman’s pay significantly.Programming careers also present great flexibility. The absence of female programmers in the field is detrimental to innovation of all kinds. Because women globally make the majority of buying decisions and there are apps and products that only women use, female product designers are likely to bring relevant and needed perspectives that otherwise might be missing. Girls must benefit from the opportunities of today to create the opportunities of tomorrow.It was also an interactive session and Q&A session was also provided.
