This week is official beginning of "Learn IT, Girl!" program [1]. It's international program for woman, started by a few girls from Poland and Romania, invented at the Google Anita Borg Scholarship [2] retreat in 2014. A main aim is to learn by women particular programming language. Every scholar is guided by her own mentor, who helps her. Girls learn language by doing selected earlier project (which must be open-source project ofc).
I take a part in this program as a mentor, and my my mentee is Corina Teodorescu. She's from Romania and studies Marketing. Corina has decided to learn C#, and she's going to write an mobile app for phones with Android OS. Because of a lot really great ideas, she doesn't finally choose her project. She's choosing between RSS reader and application for downloading/uploading/hash-tagging images - she didn't make a decision, but I think, both are quite useful, and Corina can learn a lot by making one of them(what's the most important during this program :)
Program takes 3 months, and I believe, that would be great time for Corina and for me as well. I hope, Corina will learn a lot, and I'm going to improve my teaching skills too. We will have fun for sure :)
Wish me and Corina luck!
