"I was honestly sick of women volunteering their time for this problem. It's not their problem. It's the world's problem. It's everybody's problem." - Ally Watson, CEO & Founder of Code Like a Girl   The technology we build today determines the world we live in tomorrow. But if that world is being built under the leadership of only a small portion of our community, what kind of world will we have?   Code Like a Girl is a social enterprise providing girls and women with the confidence, tools, knowledge and support to enter, and flourish, in the world of coding. Code Like a Girl empowers and enables women and girls to be equal creators in building the future. It’s not enough to have more women using tech – we need more women building tech.   Join Vicki Saunders as she uncovers how Ally Watson founded Code Like a Girl and also sheds light on: The global problem of how there are few women on tech teams or working with computer science. How to solve real problems in our society through computer science. The process of creating meaningful change by meeting individuals and changing their lives. Why the general spotlight of women in tech should also focus on women building tech and coding tech.

In this episode of in the company talk with Ally Watson, co-founder of Code Like A Girl, with a degree in computer science Ally has for the last seven years building websites and apps, and four years ago moved from her homeland of Airlie, Scotland, leaving behind her established professional networks to start over. It was in this transition she acutely felt the anxiety of not only being a newcomer but also often being the only woman in her team or at an industry networking event. This spurred her to create her own tech events for girls and to create a social enterprise to close the gender gap in a male-dominated industry. We talk about knowing when to pivot, making a side gig a full-time gig, going from an employee to a manager, and why it’s important to have more women and girls in tech.

Ally Watson co-founded Code like a Girl after experiencing first-hand the barriers women have in the male-dominated computer science and developer industry. Code like a Girl aims to change the playing field, with a strong focus on mentoring girls in coding and computational thinking in a creative environment that sparks a love of logic and leadership. “We tell them, this what a programmer is, this is what it looks like and this is my story. So, these girls are heading home and getting inspired by the women who facilitate these sessions and they're saying …Mum, Dad, I want to be a coder when I grow up!”Top 3 learnings Get involved! Coding is about getting your mind wrapped around creatively solving a logic challenge. There are plenty of opportunities to join a coding group, you just have to join the fun.   It's the story that matters. It's just as important for kids to know why coding is important as it is to know how to program a given task.   Coding is part of our future. Even if you know that you may not become a software developer, it is just as important to learn how these machines function as they are becoming more and more prevalent in today's society.About the FizzicsEd Podcast With interviews with leading science educators and STEM thought leaders, this science education podcast is about highlighting different ways of teaching kids within and beyond the classroom.

Just across from the mangroves in Sydney Olympic Park is an education center designed to help students to discover more about their environment. We caught up with Danielle Leggo, who as the education coordinator at SOPA has very much had the opportunity to see first-hand the positive impact that biological field studies and nature walks can bring to kids from urban centers. “The sampling techniques we're using with them… gathering data and asking questions about that data… every time they come out or they think about going and investigating their environment they get to use what they've learned out here in the field”. After chatting with Danielle Leggo, we also look at how to use cooking Baked Alaska to teach science (!) plus we revisit a grab from a past episode in which Ally Watson from Code like a Girl talks about the importance of role models for girls that want to take the lead in digital industries. Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education Top 3 learnings Get out into the field! It's not just about the textbook, students need to experience real ecological sampling techniques and learn about the environment first-hand. The intersection between the built environment and ecological communities is fascinating, plus it is an area of research that is being actively investigated as a direct result of urbanization and city sprawl. Observe your surroundings. The living environment had a lot to offer for all the senses!
