Within the project, some 60 girls of various ages underwent free training on CodeCraft programming courses within over a month. During the courses, the participants learnt to make mobile apps on Android platform.

The participants were divided into teams after undergoing training and they should present their projects based on knowledge they gained during the project. After preliminary round, four teams advanced to the final presentation.

Parents of the project participants, representatives of public, as well as Ambassador of Great Britain to Uzbekistan Christopher Allan took part in the final presentations.

In line with the decision of the jury, Maftuna Ziyamova and Kamila Sadykova were the authors of the best project. They created and presented mobile app Family Budget for Android platform, which is directed on efficient planning family budget.

Maftuna Ziyamova commented: “I have been interested in mathematics and physics since my childhood. Suddenly, I discovered another important direction – coding Android applications. I think our Family Budget application will be useful for many people and help them to plan and save the family budget. I would like to express my gratitude to Inha University in Tashkent and the British Embassy for provided opportunity to study coding. I am confident that the knowledge, which I gained during the project, will help me in future to become a professional in the field of information technology.”

Kamila Sadykova, in her turn, said: “First of all, I want to thank all organizers for opportunity to obtain coding skills. Initially, I could not imagine that the coding could be so interesting. During the training, I realized how exciting and useful it is. My mom inspired to develop the Family Budget app. Now we will also use our application. I’m happy to continue to study in the CodeCraft courses.”

The initiators of the project handed over valuable prizes and discount coupons for CodeCraft courses to the winners and finalists of Coding Summer Bootcamp for Girls project.

Inha University in Tashkent initiated the Coding Summer Bootcamp for Girls project within its CodeCraft programming courses at support of the Embassy of Great Britain in Uzbekistan.

In summer 2015 the IUT launched an educational project – Codecraft targeted at children aged between 9 to 15. The ultimate objective of Codecraft is to teach creative computing skills to children while expanding their potential and talents.

Within the project, courses on Scratch programming language, programming Android applications with MIT App Inventor 2 and creation of website are organized now.
