Dynamik Technologies Sdn Bhd organized a special Brunei Kids Can Code (BKCC) workshop exclusively for girls, celebrating International Women's Day. The event, held in Brunei, featured 17 female students from Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah and Jerudong International School (JIS), representing a notable move towards reducing the gender gap in STEM fields.
The workshop aimed to familiarize girls with coding using hands-on activities with the Microbit, a small programmable computer designed for easy and enjoyable learning. Collaborating in groups, the girls engaged in coding projects, enhancing not only technical skills but also teamwork and problem-solving abilities. Dynamik Technologies emphasized coding's importance as a crucial future skill applicable across various life aspects, fundamental for driving technological advancements.
This initiative is part of a broader push to motivate more girls to pursue STEM careers. By organizing the workshop on International Women's Day, Dynamik Technologies sought to inspire young women, showcasing the potential for female leadership in technology. The event provided a platform for participants to explore coding interests, potentially igniting a lifelong passion for technology and innovation.
The success of the BKCC workshop for girls highlights the significance of early exposure to STEM education and the necessity for more inclusive programs addressing gender disparities in the field. As technology evolves, such initiatives become critical for preparing the next generation of leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers. Empowering young women to delve into technology and coding is a substantial stride towards a more diverse and inclusive future in STEM.
