compileHer is a student organization founded at the University of Chicago that aims to engage young girls from diverse backgrounds through computer science education. This blog is where we spotlight events, provide resources, share stories, and more.
compileHer’s first remote hackathon,<interstell/Her>, took place February 6th and 7th. This outer-space-themed celebration of science and technology involved 39 middle school girls and volunteer mentors.
Happy 2021! For blogHer’s second post, we’d like to introduce one of the compileHer board members running the blog: UChicago second year Lily Ehsani! Here’s what she has to say.
Welcome to blogHer, compileHer’s new blog and online resource hub. compileHer is a student led organization at the University of Chicago (UChicago) which aims to engage young girls from diverse backgrounds through computer science education. The resources and blog are our way of connecting with girls interested in STEM virtually.
In the future, you can expect this site to showcase interviews of role models in STEM, entries by current UChicago CS students, tutorials about coding for all levels, spotlights of past events, and more! At the moment, we have the first episode of our podcast linked on our “Resources” page!
