Aita Zulu, on her first try and on her first day with computer programming, made a website. And then a day later and on her own, she made a second.
Zulu whipped up her first website, with simple blue text, a yellow background and an embedded YouTube video teaching people how to compost, as a student with Black Girls Code, an Oakland-based non-profit educational initiative to introduce girls of color to the world of computers and technology.
