Girls Who Code

Girls Who Code is on a mission to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does.

GWC Programs

Girls Who Code offer a variety of programs. GWC Clubs are available for free for students to explore coding in a fun & friendly environment for grades 3-12. There are virtual summer programs for high school students to learn coding and make an impact in their community while preparing for a career in tech. Girls Who Code also offers a wide range of programs aimed at supporting college-aged students and early career professionals (18-25) in persisting in their computer science education and succeeding in their first internships and jobs. More information about these programs can be found here.

Why Join GWC Sisterhood?

You can't be what you can't see-Statiscally only 21% of all female graduates pursue a degree in the Computer Sciences. GWC is trying to change that by exposing more females to the Computer Sciences and increasing that statistic.

Those who join are usually sent a tshirt and some other goodies from the organization.

Code Club for Boys

Some of the materials we get are from the Raspberry Pi Foundation that has a Code Club. We needed an avenue for boys to be included in a club as well so we signed up with Code Club and SFAC calls their club Code Club for Boys to include the boys. Unfortunately, they do not offer any t-shirts or goodies when you join.
