What is FWD Conference?

A mere 15% of the total undergraduate Computer Science degrees are awarded to women.
We’ve decided to nip this problem in the bud.

The Future Women Developers (FWD) Conference aims to target local middle and high school girls all at the ripe age of indecisiveness to create awareness among these talented young women about technology and its pervasiveness in almost every field—debunking stereotypes surrounding tech-related industries that may keep girls from venturing into Computer Science.

Computer Science in the Real World

Computer Science is all around us. Think about all the different types of mobile apps, websites, and computers: it can be found in many aspects of everyday life! Anything can be made with Computer Science. We will introduce the basics.

Hands-on Experience with a Coding Project

For this fully virtual conference, attendees will have access to our step-by-step coding videos. Follow along and learn how each line of code interacts together to build your own program!

Network and Make New Friends

Join our live meeting on Zoom! Attendees will have the opportunity to meet college women currently majoring in Computer Science. Gain insight and learn more about their journey!
