Le code des filles

Published purpose

Through this 33-month project, Le code des filles will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. More specifically, the project will address systemic barriers in QC’s education system so that young girls can gain exposure to careers in technology. To achieve this, Le code des filles will share, enhance, create, and publish digital educational tools on a free platform to guide teachers. The organization will then support teachers in providing a suitable, safe, inclusive environment for elementary and secondary school students to learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The tools and support for teaching staff will encourage youth to expand their knowledge of STEM, with the ultimate goal of giving girls equal opportunities to gain an interest in and pursue careers in technology. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.
