Coding for Women Founders with Laura Plant – July 26, 2018

The strength of Canada’s economy is built through strong foundations, with young skilled leaders and tech-savvy innovators. Canada Learning Code, former Ladies Learning Code, started with the simple vision to empower women to build technical skills. Now, it’s grown through overwhelming support to teach Canadians of all ages and backgrounds the power of coding. “It’s really never the wrong age or the wrong time to get started.” Now with programs for children, school teachers, teens and anyone who wants to learn, Canada Learning Code has taught over 80,000 students, mostly women, of all ages to code through more than 2,000 events in over 30 Canadian cities. In this week’s #THRIVEPodcast, host Janice McDonald talks to Laura Plant, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer about how she is facilitating opportunities for Canadians to learn how to build - not just consume - technology.
