That's a fantastic idea Sara! (and your english is great)
I'm a geek female who barely code, but I'm into the graphic and translation
world, have a geek husband who do code and we have a great relation where
we even talk through irc (more than verbal). I find great the idea of
showing girls that the IT world is more than just complicated code and, if
they do like code, there are easier ways to start with that how we did
years before.
I would also like to show that an IT women can also have a life. Many
people think that It people gets stuck in a dark room without a life, which
is really far from truth. Maybe some of us can share our experience of how
we cope life with IT and communities so we can guide through example to
those women who are initiating in this world.
It's fantastic to keep listening to so many great ideas! lets keep the work
going!

I'm not too good with english, but I'm gonna try to explain
me.
some girls doesn't like the computing world because they think that is
only coding and code=difficult maybe sees like letters and numbers that are
impossible to understand and takes a lot of years to learn.
the other thing is girls are worried by make up, boys, relationships or
things that all other people is doing because is easy.
We need a beginners develop tools, like codecademy but on fedora.
I saw a documental called codegirl. the most of girls groups coding with
color blocks not really typing all lines of code one per one and she
participated in events in San Francisco. perhaps something like these it's
atractive for them if we do public events focused on girls (boys too if
they want) and learing with us in that moment the feel the fun on this
beautiful world.
thanks and sorry for my bad grammar.
