Girls Who Code is a nonprofit organisation aimed at getting more women interested in the field of computer science. Now the company has introduced its “first-ever” codable music video in collaboration with popular Rapper and singer Doja Cat.
Users who wish the try out the experience can visit Dojacode.com. Here users will be able to view a futuristic image of Doja Cat which will become pixelated while dragging the mouse over the screen. As part of the next page, users will be able to view three different coloured stars, each of which will represent a different programming language; yellow for CSS; blue for Javascript; and pink for Python.
Users will be able to click on the music video, to start the experience. Doing this will start playing the music video by Doja Cat.
Users will be able to make decisions throughout and make use of the codes. The four colour-coded stars will be located on the timeline of the screen which will also show when the video will pause, and which programming language will be showcased.
When the video stops, users will be able to alter many aspects of the video using code. In one scenario, users will be able to change the colour of Doja Cat’s nails using CSS; the colour you type in alters the color of Doja Cat’s nails in real-time.
In another instance, users will be able to enter the name of a city to change the time of day in the video. Additionally, the video will stay true to that location’s current time.
Once you have completed the experience, you will get snapshots of how each area looked after you finished “coding” it. Users will also be able to download or share the same, to social media platforms.
While the DojaCode coding experience is not a sure-fire way to learn to program, it is still a fun initiative aimed at inspiring women to take up computer science and programming.
