Helping female students discover tech with CodeWomen

We have usually noticed that females are inclined to keep away from the tech planet. No matter whether it is due to the fact they truly feel like an outsider, terrified, or insecure, without having the correct guidance and determination, they are more most likely to be discouraged to go after a vocation in this subject. 

At TravelPerk, we want to shut this gap. We want to really encourage females to be section of a neighborhood in which gender does not determine their paths. We want to provide a place in which they have equivalent alternatives to master and develop.  

One particular way we get ourselves involved is by volunteering for CodeWomen. Last Monday, we invited CodeWomen to our Barcelona HQ, where we hosted their pair-programming session to present assistance to feminine students.
