Ladies Learning Code

Ladies Learning Code is a federally registered not-for-profit organization in Canada aimed at promoting collaborative, technological learning among women and youth.

Founded in 2011 by Heather Payne, Melissa Sariffodeen, Breanna Hughes and Laura Plant, the organization's first workshop was held in Toronto.[1] After this, they began hosting monthly workshops.

In August 2012, they began an expansion of these workshops across Canada, establishing chapters first in Vancouver and then subsequently in more than 18 cities across Canada.[2][3] The organization has had 904 workshops to date, as well as 17 live workshops.[4] They have also expanded programs to help a larger number of adults and youth, including Girls Learning Code [5], Kids Learning Code [6], Teachers Learning Code [7], and Canada Learning Code.[8] Their permanent workspace is located at The Lab in Toronto, Ontario.[9]

Girls Learning Code

Launched in early 2012, Girls Learning Code teaches girls from the age of 8 to 13 years old technological skills through workshops, camps and other events. In Toronto, hundreds of girls have participated and the program is expanding to new cities across Canada.[10]
