Girls Who Code partners with Doja Cat to release codeable ‘Woman’ music video
Girls Who Code has collaborated with Doja Cat to turn the artist’s latest music video, ‘Woman,’ into an interactive venture. This nonprofit organization strives to cultivate women’s interest in the realm of computer science. In this groundbreaking move, Girls Who Code has unveiled its “first-ever” codable music video in partnership with the renowned rapper and singer, Doja Cat.
To engage in this unique experience, interested users can visit Dojacode.com. Upon arrival, users will encounter a futuristic depiction of Doja Cat that pixelates as the mouse is dragged across the screen. Subsequently, on the next page, three differently colored stars will appear, each representing a distinct programming language: yellow for CSS, blue for Javascript, and pink for Python.
Upon clicking on the music video, the experience commences with the playback of Doja Cat’s music video. Users are empowered to make decisions and employ codes throughout the process. Positioned along the timeline of the screen are four color-coded stars, indicating when the video will pause and which programming language will be highlighted.
At these pauses, users can manipulate various aspects of the video using code. For instance, users can change the color of Doja Cat’s nails in real-time by inputting CSS commands. In another scenario, users can input a city name to alter the video’s time of day, synchronizing it with the current time of that location.
Upon completion of the interactive experience, users receive snapshots showcasing the modified areas after their “coding” interventions. Furthermore, users have the option to download or share these snapshots on social media platforms.
While the DojaCode coding experience doesn’t guarantee proficiency in programming, it stands as a enjoyable initiative designed to inspire women to venture into the realms of computer science and programming.
