This free, 10-week program will be held every Monday after school through Monday, Dec. 18. Club girls learn the concepts of loops, variables, conditionals, and functions that form the basis for all programming languages — whether they want to build a website, an app, or a robot. The students will determine their project focus for the  course, titled a Computer Science “CS” Impact Project, which would “solve real world problems they care about through code.”

Since its founding five years ago, Girls Who Code has hosted more than 30,000 students and 15,000 clubs in all 50 states. The program was founded in an effort to bridge the technology gender gap.

Registration for this Fall program is already closed. If you are interested in the upcoming Spring program, please contact Claire Karriker at (704) 638-5304.
