Girls Who Code

Club

(Grades 6-12) Girls Who Code clubs are meant for girls to join a sisterhood of supportive peers and role models, and use Computer Science to change the world.

For all girls in Grades 6-12! When you join a Club, you will be able to learn from fun and simple online coding tutorials, build community
through interactive activities, and learn about inspiring role models. You then work in teams to design and build a Girls Who Code Project that solves real world problems you care about through code!

EVPL's Girls Who Code club (usually) meets the first and third Monday of each month. First meeting of the school year is September 19, but you are welcome to join at any time. 

*Please register to attend. All girls ages 13 or below will need parent/guardian permission to access the Girls Who Code online materials. 

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Our middle and high school Clubs encourage you to impact your community in a positive way through code. In order to build the skills you need to make an impact, you will learn how to code from our fun online tutorials and activities that will help you build animations, games, apps, and other things that you
dream up! We have tutorials in Scratch, Python, Swift, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

CAN I JOIN?
Yes! Whether you’re a beginner or a computer master, you’re invited to join the movement!
