Description

Afghanistan has been free from Taliban rule since 2001 and seen a huge growth in a tech economy. Unfortunately, the country still has a strong male-dominated culture that prevents women from ever having access to those tech opportunities much less any form of employment.Code To Inspire was created to educate, inspire and empower women in Afghanistan with technology by providing a safe and secure space where the girls can learn, communicate and enjoy being in an educational environment and be involved in entrepreneurship and technological innovations to find job employment online.

Join our panel discussion on how Code to Inspire aims to eliminate the educational and technical gender gap in Afghanistan and empower women financially through online employment opportunities and Bitcoin income. Learn how you can help and get involved.

Panel:

  • Jana Levene - New Business Development, Google Ideas

  • Mark D'agostino - Manager , Banking and Securities at Deloitte

  • Shane Brauner - Vice President, IT & Operations at Schrödinger

  • Fereshteh Forough - Founder and President Code to Inspire

Moderator

  • John Lilic - Code to Inspire Co-Founder

100% of all ticket sales for this event will be going towards helping our students in Afghanistan. Your help and donation will:

  • Enable 50 girls daily to come to a place which is safe and secure.

  • Educate 50 girls daily by providing educational and technical curriculum

  • Provide 4 mentors to have in person training, helping students in developing their projects.

  • Provide Internet connection for external studies and online activities.


Code to Inspire has raised over$21,000 in its first online crowdfunding to build the very first coding school for girls in Afghanistan to educate them how to code. If you want to learn more about our cause, please feel free to read the following articles that have been published about our mission in Afghanistan in theNew York Times,HuffingtonPost,Malala Fund and by theUN Foundation.

We'd like to thank Rise New York for providing an awesome venue for our fundraiser event!
