A push to get more girls into male-dominated computer programming through art classes got a boost in one Miami elementary school during the pandemic. Elementary art teacher Nancy Mastronardi started teaching her students to code, inspired by the unique Code/Art program started by MIT grad Amy Renshaw in 2016 to address tech's gender imbalance. Code/Art has trained teachers from 100 schools and hopes to bring the model to San Francisco, Seattle, Austin and New York City. Girls in Mastronardi's classes soon became enthusiastic coders, and many joined a Code/Her virtual group.
