Two-day Grace Hopper Girls’ Programming Camp held at Comilla University, Comilla at 16 & 17 October and Pundra Science and Engineering Technology, Bogra at 21 & 22 October, 2019. These camps were organized by Bangladesh Open Source Network (BdOSN).

This camp is organized mainly to improve the skills of programming for undergraduate female students. Now-a-days women students are not entering the workplace due to lack of proper skills while studying at university level with science and information technology. And BDOSN is working towards that goal.

At Comilla University, 31 female students from Computer Science and Engineering Technology has participated in this camp. The first day of this two-day camp is decorated with the primary and basic learning session of programming. The second day, students participated in a programming contest in an online programming platform. The winner of this camp has been awarded with certificate and crest in the closing session of Grace Hopper Programming Camp.

This camp provides a complete guide on how to solve complex problems with coding.
