New Pilot Program Launching in March 2021!
Launching in March 2021!
We will be launching a new pilot after-school coding program at two partner sites beginning in March/April. Selected participants at each location will complete an eight-week introductory coding course, participate in enrichment workshops, and mentorship. The course will teach the foundational concepts of programming and provide a fun, engaging way for students to learn basic computer science concepts. At the end of the pilot, participants will get the opportunity to present and share their projects during a family/community showcase. This experience is designed to provide a foundation upon which girls can use to further explore careers in STEM.
