We had a great time today as Girls That Code visited Bear Web Design in Nashville! As part of the experience, students from Wilson County explored the opportunities available to programmers and developers in the 21st century. Their instructor, web designer/developer Jennifer Folsom, led the visit—and we wrapped it up with a pizza lunch to celebrate their hard work and curiosity.

Peter Beare presents to Girls that Code Opportunities for Programmers Developers in the 21st Century

Exploring Programming Languages and Career Paths

The girls learnt about the history and types of programming languages (dating back to the 1960’s). Then, they looked at examples of how each language type is used today. They also had an overview of my programming background including my Degree in Computer Science from M.T.S.U. and the languages that I studied as an example of what type of degree they might seek to become a programmer including the amount of languages they may have to study. We also discussed work environments that have changed drastically in recent times. The girls seem to enjoy the idea that you can do your work from anywhere so long as you can get to the internet!

Web Design, Development, and a Warm Bear Web Welcome

To finish our presentation we reviewed Web Design & Development and the languages used in that arena including Mobile Apps which finished off a lively presentation and discussion. Vicki Beare who was our founding designer and developer was on hand to provide some valuable input to the girls as was our current designer and developer Jennifer Folsom. To finish off the visit Bear Web Design treated all the girls to Pizza at PizzaReal Restaurant in East Nashville.
