Shani Bendor
I’m an Automation Engineer at Own with a passion for empowering the next generation of female coders. During my time pursuing a degree in Computer Science, I volunteered at AliceCode, a non-profit organization aimed at teaching young girls programming skills.
I taught and mentored over 30 bright and curious young girls (4 groups) in elementary school (ages 9 to 12) on a weekly basis. In addition, I instructed and mentored in one-time hackathons for schools, and participated in various panels and events that AliceCode organized. Through these experiences, I developed a unique perspective on how to effectively introduce Python to children, particularly young girls.
Sessions
Join me as I present my experience of teaching Python to 11-year-old girls through AliceCode’s program. Discover which concepts were challenging for them, examples of the coding exercises used, samples of their projects, and additional insights.
