Girls Into Coding with Avye Couloute

Available for over a year

Isy Suttie speaks to 12 year old Avye Couloute about how being one of the only girls in coding workshops, which led her to set up her own just for girls. Avye’s workshops have won her support in the tech industry and taken her to Barcelona and Rome. Avye has always been a creative person. When her parents encouraged her to try a coding workshop when she was 7, she quickly found a new outlet for her creativity. However as she learned to code she noticed the lack of girls taking part in the workshops she attended. Avye decided to take her coding knowledge, and with help from friends and family, started her own workshops called Girls Into Coding to get more girls involved in technology. A few years later she has won a Diana Award for her work, ran multiple workshops, raised money to give computer kits to other young girls and attended a massive industry conference in Barcelona to advocate for making technology available to less developed countries. She’s done all of this and she’s only just started high school! This is how Avye changed her world…
