Weekly Tech News: The First Codable Clip of the World: Doja Cat — Woman
Doja Cat’s new music video “Woman” has been released. This clip proved that Doja Cat has a futuristic musical understanding, as shown in her previous works. With this piece, she took the competition in the music market to a whole new level.
The artist has partnered with the non-profit organization Girls Who Code, which aims to reach and reach more women and girls interested in programming and computer science. Together they created an interactive experience that they call “the first codable music video”.
The organization Girls Who Code has been developing various projects since 2012 to support the number of women in computer science and enable them to pursue 21st-century opportunities.
The interactive clip, which you can access on dojacode.com, starts as the original clip of rap artist Doja. In the following seconds, the decision-making authority passes to the audience. Viewers are offered a choice of three programming languages: CSS, Python, and JavaScript. When you start playing the Woman clip, you can change the code lines and direct the clip as you wish.
You have the opportunity to change many details, from the nail color of a character in the clip to the number of leaves falling on Doja Cat. You can download and share the video you have prepared according to your preference.
Although the coding part is not complicated, it offers good practice for those new to programming. Its origins are also quite impressive because, according to data from Girls Who Code, in 1995, 37% of computer scientists were women. Today, only 24% are women. Efforts need to be made to prevent this decline. The Woman clip is a great project designed to increase female employment in computer science. We are hoping for more such projects.
