Challenges / Negative Feedback
- Early-stage anxiety and low confidence among beginners (Pre responses).
- Debugging remains difficult for some, even with high test scores (e.g., Ying).
- Inconsistent attendance led to missed sessions for some (Pravalika).
- Mixed test outcomes: 4 improved Pre→Mid; 2 declined.
- Limited Post data so far (n=1), though outcome is strong.

Opportunities to Improve
Targeted Debugging Support
Add dedicated debugging labs/office hours to help learners who struggle identifying and fixing errors.
Consistency & Attendance
Provide recordings, staggered schedules, and catch-up sprints for learners who miss sessions.
Beginner On-Ramp
Offer a short pre-module for first-time coders to reduce early anxiety and build foundational confidence.
Ensure Project Completion
Guarantee at least one shipped web app per learner with structured milestones and mentor check-ins.
Personalized Practice
Use adaptive practice sets for learners whose test scores dipped to target weak areas.
Expand Post-Program Tracking
Increase Post response rates to validate long-term outcomes beyond early alumni stories.
Need to Know
What data was used in this report?
Only the provided Pre, Mid, and Post survey entries were used. Records with Stage marked “-” were excluded from calculations.
How were improvements calculated?
Pre→Mid comparisons used matched participants with numeric scores (n=6). Averages and percentages are computed only from available responses for each field.
What about recommendation scores?
Mid average recommendation was 8.0 (n=6). Post includes one strong promoter (10).
What does “built a web application” mean here?
Self-reported completion of at least one web application in the survey. Mid: 4 of 6; Post: Rosura reports continued application development.
How many participants are represented?
Pre: 7 entries (5 responded on confidence; 6 numeric scores). Mid: 6 entries. Post: 1 entry (Rosura). Stage “-” entries were not included in stage-based stats.
Overall Summary
The program demonstrates strong, measurable progress from Pre to Mid stages: average test scores climbed 13.8%, two-thirds shipped web applications, and confidence shifted from universally low to predominantly positive. The resume workshop generated tangible job-search outcomes, reflected in interviews and improved resumes, while community and mentorship fueled motivation and belonging. Although individual results vary and debugging remains a common challenge, early Post data signals durable impact—including employment outcomes and continued academic advancement. With focused support on debugging, attendance, and guaranteed project completion, the program is well-positioned to scale its already meaningful impact on girls in tech.
