• What is Girls Who Code?

    GWC Clubs serve as a place (virtual included!) for students to spend time together while learning about computer science and building their confidence. Clubs provide participants with a sisterhood of supportive peers and role models, and an opportunity to use their skills to positively impact their community.

     

    What will club members learn?

    Throughout the Club, all members will:

    • Learn to see themselves as computer scientists.
    • Gain exposure to project management and problem solving techniques.
    • Build sisterhood in a safe and supportive environment of peers and role models.
    • Learn about other women professionals in tech around the world.
    • Learn the foundational computer science concepts that form the basis for all programming languages.
    • Learn a variety of programming languages, including Scratch, Swift, Python, and Javascript. Our activities and tutorials offer a range of difficulty for beginner programmers who have little to no experience programming to more advanced learners who will engage in more advanced topics like data structures.
