What will girls learn in a Girls Who Code Club?

The short answer is: girls will learn about computer science concepts, and just as importantly, they'll learn that they have a community in the computer science space!

Our curricula include activities for participants with no computer science experience all the way up to college-level concepts.

Throughout the Club, all participants will:

• Join Girls Who Code's global sisterhood!
• Learn to see themselves as computer scientists.
• Gain exposure to project management and problem solving techniques.
• Join a safe and supportive environment of peers and role models.
• Learn the foundational computer science concepts that form the basis for all programming languages.
• Learn a variety of programming languages, from block-based code (Scratch) to Python and JavaScript. Depending on student level, more advanced topics like object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms may be covered.
• Work with a team to build a Girls Who Code Project that addresses a real-world problem.
