About us
Who are we?
The tech industry can feel exclusionary to people who are not cis, male, white and heterosexual. This was not always the case and needs to change again.
Queer Coding Camp aims to counteract this situation through education and support of young queer people and by providing opportunities for networking of LGBTQ+ people in the tech industry. We queer the tech world, to make it more inclusive, fair and safe for everyone.
Do you want to participate?
We are always looking for tutors or mentors who want to teach at the camp. Contact us at hi@queercodingcamp.ch if you're interested.
You can also become a member of the Queer Coding Camp association. You'll receive an invitation to our members' meeting, where you can give inputs on association activities and future projects.
