About us
Who are we?
The tech industry is exclusive to people who are not cis, male, white and heterosexual. This was not always the case and must change!
The Queer Coding Camp wants to counteract this situation through education and support of young queer people and the networking of LGBTQ+ people in the tech industry. We queerness the tech world, so that it is in the future an inclusive, fair and safe place for queer people.
Do you want to participate?
We are always looking for tutors or mentors who want to teach at the camp. Register at hi@queercodingcamp.ch.
You can also become a member of the Queer Coding Camp association. Then you will receive an invitation to our members' meeting, where you can influence future projects.
