Go Code Girl 2014: Impact Survey Results

This year's Go Code Girl event, which focused on programming with Python and the Raspberry Pi, was a great success.  The impact surveys the girls filled in at the end of the second day really help illustrate this.  The results are summarized in the image below, and again in text below that.

(If you'd like to take a look at the slides etc, you can do so here, keeping in mind that pacing and interaction with students is not evident from slides alone.)
