She was the first to code Bluetooth technology. She holds a variety of patents, which means she was the first to create something and she's even experienced her first retirement.Highlights from this episode:Dinah discusses her early experiences in a male-heavy tech environmentDinah reflects on the fleeting years we have with our teenagers before they head off into the world.

Welcome to the first episode of Shape The System for 2021 We chat with the founder of Code Like a Girl, Ally Watson about how she tackles inequality in coding by providing girls and women with the confidence, tools, knowledge and support to enter, and flourish, in the world of coding
"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.

Code Like A Girl CEO and co-founder Ally Watson is our guest on this episode of People Building Businesses. With a background in computer science, Ally embarked on a career as a software engineer and developer before founding social enterprise Code Like A Girl in 2015. Code Like a Girl is best known for running coding workshops for girls aged between six and 18, but it does a lot more, and the startup has reached over 2,000 girls over the past two years.

I’ve told very few people about this (and now I wonder why) but one of the long term goals is my business is to contribute to more girls learning technology and coding. I still believe there are not enough women leaders in tech and this is impacting the world at large. In this episode, I go through a couple stories about why I think having more women in technology could change we perceive the world and some science to back it up. Finally, I talk about some key steps I think need to happen so that this slowly shifts to a more equal environment of women and men leaders.

This episode is brought to you by Victoria's Small Business Festival, happening across the state from in August 2018. Check out http://festival.business.vic.gov.au to access hundreds of free and affordable events to elevate, support and inspire you and your business. In The Company is a podcast about humanising work and designing better working lives.

We explore how we work from the inside out. 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.
