Tech Nerd: Code and Cupcakes via Mary Sue

A Nerds two favorite things... Coding and Cupcakes.


When Jen Myers first learned how to code over a decade ago, she was often the only woman in her computer science classes. Now a successful web designer, Myers is dedicating herself to making coding accessible to women of all ages–and she’s got cupcakes on her side!
Inspired by her experiences teaching HTML to her nine-year-old daughter and women with the Girl Develop It group, Myers organized what she thought would be a one-time coding (and cupcake eating!) workshop last October. To her surprise, the event’s $35 tickets per mother-daughter pairing sold out quickly; a second Code and Cupcakes event is scheduled for January 24th at The Living Room in Chicago, with another session coming in February.
