I’m a new 3rd-5th Grade Club. Where do I start?

Girls Who Code recommends all Clubs start with the curriculum that accompanies our nonfiction book, Learn to Code and Change the World. This curriculum features chapter guides, online coding challenges, and unplugged activities. All excerpts from our nonfiction book are available as PDF copies in the chapter guides on Girls Who Code HQ, and no physical copies of the book are needed!

If you have finished the Learn to Code and Change the World curriculum, you can move on to the curriculum that accompanies the first book in our fiction series, The Friendship Code. For the best experience, we recommend all members are able to read this book in its entirety. Copies of The Friendship Code can be found on our website and through local libraries! Please reach out to [e-mail] for help accessing the fiction book.

All approved 3-5th grade Clubs for the 2020-21 school year who enroll 3 or more girls are eligible to receive a resource kit containing five FREE copies of The Friendship Code to add to your school or classroom’s library. Facilitators will be responsible for ordering this kit. They can do so through our partner, Kotis, here. This will send Clubs five copies of The Friendship Code. Once ordered and approved by Girls Who Code, Kotis will send an order confirmation and tracking information for the Resource Kit. Each Club will only be eligible for the Resource Kit once, so order when you're ready for The Friendship Code!
