What does QueenB do?
QueenB is a nonprofit organization founded by computer science students who were disheartened by how few women enrolled in a computer science major. QueenB's goal is to give girls and women belief and confidence in their own abilities in order to increase the representation of Israeli women in the technology industry. QueenB's main activity is a mentorship and training program where computer science students teach middle-school girls code through weekly lessons during the school year. In these lessons, the students gain deep knowledge in writing Java code and building their own smartphone apps. The organization also offers workshops for middle-school girls, exposing them to technology and topics about gender bias. Among the sponsors and partners of the organization are firms such as Mobileye, Pico Partner (Kids), Dropbox and Jnext. In 2017 QueenB was a regional winner of the WeWork Creator Awards.
