The skill to code is something to be encouraged and nurtured and Disneyland are inviting girls who code to Galaxy’s Edge to see how the park works. Disney Parks Blog took a look at the initiative.
Students participating in this year’s Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program recently visited Disneyland Resort for a special peek at the technology behind the magic at Disney Parks, including some of the exciting innovations at work in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! A nationwide non-profit organization, Girls Who Code works to teach high school students about technology and close the gender gap in technology fields by providing computer science education to girls.
The trip took the group to a galaxy far, far away, as they visited the planet Batuu and learned a bit about some of the experiences and technology that guests may encounter on their visit. The group heard from various speakers about the Play Disney Parks app, which allows guests to explore their Star Wars: Datapad within the land and explore in a whole new way, and learned about how Disneyland Resort has been utilizing a virtual queue system to ensure that guests have a great experience when they visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
