Hi Grace,unfortunately not.As young ugandan lady,participation of women in computer science or as developers is still very low compared to men.I followed the recent garage48 event on twitter and only 5 girls(or less) participated.Last week was the water hackthon at makerere university where 10 girls particpated.The number of girls enrolling in computer science or engineering is still very low.I attend a semester at makerere university.I'm looking forward to this even though I won't be able to attend.
