CGTN Feature: Uptick in women pursuing STEM courses
Thank you China Global Television Network (CGTN) for including Coding Lab in the feature on females in STEM courses! In light of International Women's Day, CGTN covered the uptick in women pursuing STEM courses.
CGTN Feature - Co-Founder of Coding Lab, Candice, being interviewed at our Bukit Timah (KAP Mall) Campus
Our Director, Candice Wang, is also a proud mother in the STEM field whose daughter attends weekly classes at Coding Lab.
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), which were traditionally seen as fields dominated by men. In Singapore and at Coding Lab, we're proud that our parents and educators are encouraging their daughters to pursue STEM fields.

"We do increasingly see more and more girls. Some of our best students are girls, actually. We used to have all boys classes, but now you see at least three to four girls in every class, so I would say about a 30 percent increase."
Candice Wang, Director of Coding Lab

Coding Lab has always been proud of encouraging all of our students to strive for the best in the programming field, regardless of gender, and we are grateful to have been recognised for it. We have always aimed to provide a welcoming learning environment for every student, through displaying a good mix of projects by boys and girls, and teaching with examples relevant to both genders.
