Whether you’re someone who has been interested in tech since you were a kid or exploring it for the first time, we want all women to know that there is room for them to learn, explore and lead in the modern tech industry. It’s no secret that women face many challenges when breaking into tech. And while there is much progress being made, it’s clear that more needs to be done.
With this blog, we are thrilled to announce our latest campaign, ‘Girls who code.’
We wanted to celebrate the extraordinary talent and achievements of women in tech and make them visible to everyone. Women are making a difference in the world but still are outnumbered. Our new campaign aims to change that.
With this campaign, we hope to inspire girls everywhere to see themselves in these powerful stories and embrace their own potential as programmers and creators.
At Deqode, we want all our team members to succeed and reach their potential, so we provide ample opportunities to take on leadership roles. We believe that diversity and inclusion are essential to fostering creativity, innovation, and growth, and we are committed to continuing to create a workplace where everyone can thrive and succeed.
Let’s meet the women who code behind the scenes at Deqode:
