Ladies Learning Code encourages women to get into computer sciences

If you've ever wanted to learn computer programming, there's a session on Saturday, Sept. 24 that'll give you a good start.

The non-profit organization Ladies Learning Code is hosting its annual National Ladies Learn to Code Day in 29 Canadian cities, including Sudbury.

While the organization encourages more women to get involved in computer sciences, the in-person workshops on Sept. 24 are open to all adults who want to learn to code.

Ladies Learning Code has collaborated with Ottawa-based Shopify, a company that has created an online commerce platform for small and medium-sized businesses, to provide the workshops on a pay-what-you-can basis.

Laurentian University's math and computer science department will host the event at one of its computer labs, in room F443 at the university.

The six-hour workshop, which starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m., will focus on interactive stories and game making with HTML and CSS, two programming languages critical to web development.
