Hello,I am Rojina ,core member at Girls In Technology.This presentation is about our community organisation Girls In Technology,Nepal .I presented this yesterday i.e 18th july on PHP DEVELOPERS MEET-UP 13 .
Today, cutting-edge technologies are empowering mobile applications as consumers can access digital education at their fingertips. The educational app acts as a virtual bridge between teachers and learners. Although providing and educating others is a great job. On the other hand, you also need to create income that you can make by launching an innovative education and training app. Hiring a top mobile apps development company in Los Angeles with in-depth experience in developing educational apps is a good way to go.
This was a joint presentation made by Futures Without Violence and Ideas in Digital (iiD) at YTH Live 2015 in San Francisco on April 27th, 2015. Eleanor Davis (Futures) and Lance Shields (iiD) shared our new mobile-social app which engages teenagers with positive challenges to teach healthy relationship skills. The Respect app is currently under development and will play a key role in the non-profit teen campaign ThatsNotCool.com
Five Academies of Information Technology took part in a pilot mobile app development
program this year. Share in the excitement as the top student teams from across the
country present their creations. This program was launched in partnership with Lenovo.

The year is 2050. You’re running late. You stumble out of bed to find the light switch and realize your homework essay “History of GNU/Linux” was deleted; SkyNet determined the essay was “radical literature.” The future is now. Did they forgot to add the part where algorithms would be wielded against us, and we would end up proving false positives to equations that respond with “do not reply”?

A short introduction to Accessibility API and then a look at what pitfalls JavaScript frameworks have due to the way they talk to the DOM - Talk given at Code Melbourne in 2017
Trying to get clients or stakeholders to see the need for accessibility is hard, people still see it as alot of extra work with rewards that are hard to provide a ROI. However web spiders/crawlers are our biggest blind user on the web, in essence alot of what works to increase SEO will increase the accessibility of your site. Lets take a look at some site building and development tasks we can perform that provide a tick to SEO and a tick to Accessibility. If we can take this approach we can see that the cost of Accessibility is actually bundled with the cost of SEO and not an additional burden to the project.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks
Diversity through iOS Development - App Camp 4 Girls
1. Diversity Through iOS Development
App Camp 4 Girls
Aimee Maree Forsstrom
Aug 31-Sep 1, 2015
2. Who Am I?
Aimee Maree Forsstrom
Software Engineer – Educational Resarcher - Technomancer
@aimee_maree aimee@linux.com
Worked in the field of Information Technology since 2000
Long list of work in Open Source (but this is not relevant today)
Involved with research projects around young girls in IT to change
the perception of programming
Currently working on a program to assist Youth on the Autistic
Spectrum and IT Entreprenureship
3. Why am I Here?
All good things start with a story...
In 2014 I was based in Seattle, Washington, USA
An Aussie Male friend of mine RT a tweet from @askvirginia
“We are looking for mentors for a project mentoring kids”
I responded
“I can help”
And there started my journey to working with one of the most
innovative projects I have come across for young girls in
programming
4. The History
App Camp 4 Girls was founded by Jean McDonald
She was inspired to launch App Camp 4 Girls by the low
numbers of women she noticed at Apple's WWDC.
She started thinking of ways to increase participation of young
girls to help feed the pipeline and increase women's
participation in Apple development.
But she did not want to just teach them to code she wanted to
immerse them in the software development process to inspire
them onto further learning.
5. The Mission
To empower girls by providing
engaging and accessible
educational programs in software
development
8. Women only need Apply
App Camp 4 Girls inspires an interest in software
development through hands-on experience in App
creation led by role models from the industry.
Individuals who self-identify as female,
trans* (of any identity), or gender non-conforming
are encouraged to Apply for mentorship positions.
9. Role Models is the DNA
App Camp 4 Girls is a place where girls can
put their creative powers to work
designing and building Apps while
learning more about the business of
software
and being inspired by
women mentors in the field.
10. Diversity with Role Models
Key ingredient
All attendees are young girls (generally 12 -14)
All mentors and speakers are Women in Technology
This enables us to present them with role
models from different backgrounds with
diverse stories
11. Addressing The Question?
We ask the question “Why do we need a Girls only
camp and not a Boys only camp”
Attendees that have been to App camps before as
the only girl or there were less then 10 in a group of
100
We teach that the best way we can support Women in
Technology is to support each other and be friends
and promote other Women in Tech
Be a friend and feel confident to talk about issues
12. Can Men Still Help?
Yes, always…
Spread the Word
Sponsor a Camp
If you know women who could help out and
would like to volunteer let them
know about the project
13. Curriculam Approach
One week camp
Teach creative thinking as well as design and code
Take students through the process of making an App
This means not just code but UI design, marketing,
presentation skills, creative thinking
Include outdoor activities not just Info tech
workshops
At the end of the week the girls pitch their ideas to
a table of VCs
14. Why Is This Different?
Teaching students about App building enabling all
students to participate in design, marketing and
development of Apps
Include outdoor activities to enable social skill
training and show how we always need a break from
technology work
Introduction of positive role models – not just
mentors but bringing in experts in their fields to
provide talks and teaching workshops
15. Positive Feedback
“My daughter had a terrific time and was so
inspired! Your camp has solidified her interest
in a career as a computer programmer.”
“It’s a fun camp where you get to learn so
much, meet amazing people, and build
friendship and confidence.”
17. Technology Stack
Teams have Apple Mac Book Pro between students
Each attendee gets an iPod Touch to run and test
App's on that they can take home and show to their
parents
The first camps were written in ObjectiveC
Teams are encouraged to draw and create their own
artwork
Each Team skecthes up their UI designs
Hand Drawn Artwork is printed and scanned in
Each team makes two badge designs of their brand
18. The { CODE }
Calculator or Quiz Game App template was used
This meant about 60% of the code already written
Attendees needed to write the connecting code
Their was time for them to take the App to the next
level and add their own features and improvements
For those who did not want to take it further in code
they could focus on design and still have a
functioning App at the end of one week
19. Growing Technology Stack
First App Camps developed Basic Calculator
Expanded to a more Complex Game Quiz
Future Expansion: Challenge campers with
more complex Games
Apple Watch App's: to be able to add creating
Apple Watch App's to the curriculum
21. Seattle Camp 2015
2015 was the second App Camp ran in Seattle
Three students from the prior year returned as
intern mentors
Swift was introduced
Girls got to see how just because the code
changed the Approach to building an App and
the basics of programming still Applied
22. What Does The Future Hold?
App Camp for Girls is Growing
In 2015 there have been three camps run in
North America, Portland, Seattle and
Vancouver
The team is always looking at expanding
Current goal establish 4 new locations
in North America (7 in total)
I would love to see one run in
Australia!
