This all started when she was born in Makoko in in Lagos, Nigeria. When she was young, she was surrounded by rickety shacks that stood inn unhealthy waters that were black and murkey. Transportation at her home was equally  bad. 

Africa's suburbs are mostly in slums and the residents lack successful careers.Many girls in these neighborhoods get very little education and are stuck in their homes doing with their mothers. Abisoye Ajayi-Akininfolarin saw this problem and decided to dedicate herself into helping these girls.She created GirlsCoding.It is a program teaches girls from dozens of orphanages and correctional homes. In her classes, Abisoye teaches the girls how to use various coding and animation programs. Such as CSS, HTML, JavaScript, Python,and Scratch ]]> 2018-11-28 20:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vmcgow5279/b61mcbxpmi2d/wish/309023936 vmcgow5279 https://padlet.com/vmcgow5279/b61mcbxpmi2d/wish/309507362 Before getting into what Abisoye did, there are a few questions that would be nice to know the answer to.
1.)How does she have the money to provide technology for these girls?
2.)When did she  learn how to code?
3.)How many people support her ideas?
4.)What ages do the girls have to be in order for them to participate in her class?
5.)How many girls ,so far, she helped?


The positive effect of Aboisoye's actions are allowing little girls to learn about computers and various animation and coding programs. The girls are learning more and more about technology each day they take her class.

The Central Idea of this interview is to learn more about what Abisoye is going to do to help these girls learn to code.

“Technology is a space that’s dominated by men. Why should we leave it to men?” Abisoye's quote in her interview with CNN.
