Forty girls from urban Western New York middle and high schools will be accepted into the inaugural "It's Your World! Develop It!" coding program this July. The five-month program takes aim at the glaring gender gap in technology professions, and aims to teach computer coding basics. It is the latest in a series of local tech-oriented programs supported by AT&T and is also sponsored by WNY STEM Hub, Girls Scouts of Western New York and SUNY Buffalo State.
