Status of Women committee  I think this speaks to some of the comments that were made earlier. We're seeing more organizations adopting specific initiatives and, in some cases, specific departments focused on EDI—equity, diversity, and inclusion—and what that looks like within the organization. In anecdo

Status of Women committee  Yes, that is definitely an example of the kind of work that supports some of our goals. We believe in working with organizations such as Kids Code Jeunesse to establish allies to enable us to broaden our reach to educators across our nation. Again, engaging educators through Ca

Status of Women committee  We have organizations representing all areas of innovation as it relates to tech. TELUS is one of our partners. Google is one of our partners. We have quite a few. We have GSC Game World, which is a game development company that is part of Electronic Arts Inc.

Status of Women committee  I'm available.

Status of Women committee  Absolutely. It hasn't been easy. A lot of our teachers in the code initiatives address those barriers that these teachers, specifically these female teachers, are facing.

Through our teachers in the code community, a part of that process, a part of designing a lot of those solutions, involves, to a great deal, a lot of our workshops for teachers learning code. Part of that involves

Status of Women committee  Could you clarify your question?

Status of Women committee  We currently have not entered that level of assessment. As you mentioned, and from something I shared earlier, a lot of our instructors are from industry. For example, we will have the senior software developer from Google come to instruct our young girls. We haven't mapped o

Status of Women committee  A lot of our youth are experiencing the road map of our programs. For example, we have a young woman named Chloe.
