Introducing: Nailah a 7 year old member of the BlackGirlsCode who attended the KidsRuby programming class at Pivotal Labs in San Francisco as part of annual Golden Gate Ruby Conference on September 16-17, 2011 at UCSF Mission Bay.  Below is her blog!




Hi my name is Nailah and I am 7 years old.  I was excited to attend my first KidsRuby class.  I really didn't know what to expect but I wanted to learn how to write my very own game.  

The volunteers really made it easy to get started.  I plugged a USB into my computer, clicked on it, and then the program was installed. The teacher helped us create a cool application with different colors that we were able to explore on our own. He also showed us how to write a program to help with our homework. 

This was my very first time learning how to program and I had a really fun experience.  The one thing I liked the least about my
KidsRuby class was all that typing! (Editor Side Note: smile) What I liked the most was that I could learn to hack my homework! I don’t want to do more of that.  So I have been trying to hack my homework on my own!
