About this event

Girls Who Code is a national nonprofit organization aimed at closing the gender gap in technology. This out-of-school program teaches girls teamwork, time management, communication skills, and confidence through computer science. Our club provides activities that support sisterhood along with structured curriculum to introduce and expose girls to the fundamental concepts of programming.

Eligibility: Girls Who Code is open by enrollment only to all girls and nonbinary students in grades 6–8. No experience necessary. Students will need access to an email address to participate. Parents/guardians, if your student does not have an email address, please help them create one or gain access to one before registering for the program.

Cost: Our club is FREE. All instruction, materials, and curriculum are generously provided by Girls Who Code. Donations to our club's sponsoring nonprofit, Tech Changers, are encouraged and appreciated to cover the cost of computing equipment, insurance, and activities. If you are interested in volunteering, please indicate your interest on the form below.
