Free Screening of CODEGIRL

NOTE: Please reserve tickets via EventBrite (http://yieldbot.com/codegirl) so we have an accurate overall headcount.

On December 14 at 7pm Yieldbot is sponsoring a free screening of CODEGIRL at the Maynard Fine Arts Theatre. CODEGIRL is a recent documentary that centers around an app competition (specifically the 2014 competition) that is held yearly worldwide that encourages girls to get into technology.

Diversity in technology is important and competitions like the one in the movie are doing their part by giving girls direct access to working with technology and working towards a goal and being successful with it.

But the movie itself can play a big role as well, by giving visibility to these girls and their struggles and success. Reminding everyone that there's no reason they can't do it, and providing an opportunity for girls to see these girls as an example and inspiration for what they can do if they want to.
