Code First: Girls was recently featured in the Observer in "Six ideas to get more women into tech". Here is a snippet from the article:

"Addressing the imbalance in tech entrepreneurship is also about getting women to think bigger, says Alice Bentinck, co-founder of Entrepreneur First, an organisation that helps graduates build startups through a year-long programme.
