Weekly Interviews that Highlight Female Programmers
Being inspired is one thing, but being able to lead by example and inspire others is a whole new level. Camille does just that through her work with different diversity organizations and STEM groups. She is working in mechanical engineering with an interest in machine learning, all while finding time to volunteer with programs like, Girl STEM Stars to inspire a younger generation of girls in tech. Here is Camille's story. What was the first thing that peaked your interest in programming?
I started a website when I was 12 using templates and then became interested in making my own changes. By the time I was 15 I was using Wordpress and at 17 I opened up a small web design business that I used to pay for my first year of college housing.

Technology is all around us, in everything we do everyday. Behind each piece of tech is someone who helped conceptualize, design, create it and market it, and this week's interview is with Lisa Godwin a developer who's had her hand in each part of the process. What was the first thing that peaked your interest in programming?
Growing up I was really into gaming, all types of games; computer and video. Once I got middle school age I started exploring the technology that creates video games and became fascinated since. This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Cara, an Atlanta based developer who's love of programming started young and who works with organizations to bring that same passion of tech to a new generation of girls! 1) What was the first thing that peaked your interest in programming?
As a kid, my mother would bring home educational software games from her school. I would play games like 'Reader Rabbit', 'ClueFinders', and 'Where in the World is Carmen San Diego'. I loved playing the games as I learned to read and do basic arithmetic, but what was even more interesting to me was how these games were created. As I got older, my interest in programming was sparked even more when I started playing Roller Coaster Tycoon and SimCity. |
