Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Stemettes invite you to a weekend of creativity and making with women in STEM. The event will be hosted by Head Stemette, Anne-Marie Imafidon. 
What?
Coding weekends are about bringing people together to create amazing things using computers. We think it's really sad that some people have never had proper fun with creativity and computer science, so we want to give you the opportunity to explore and play about in the creative, exciting world of technology. <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXnorPDyU44" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Have a look at one of our previous codeathons to see what it's like.</A>

Why?
Despite the thousands of women already working in the UK's Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) fields, there exists a lack of young talent in the pipeline. Join us to experience building your own app and seeing how it's done at companies like Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The event promises to provide a fantastic opportunity to meet and network with STEM professionals and discover new opportunities over light refreshments in a relaxed atmosphere.

Are you interested in helping children learn to code and discover making? 
We are looking for adults who have a STEM background to help the girls learn to code in Python and show them the range of possible careers you can do after studying STEM subjects. 
All you need to do is provide inspiration and help the girls with their projects when they get stuck. 
We will provide food and reasonable transport costs to helpers.
