All Programs

Girls who code summer programs are free, virtual programs that incorporate best practices in digital learning, including shorter days, small group work, and office hours. Girls learn html, css, python, and javascript while also engaging with partners to hear from women in tech, participate in resume workshops, do virtual office tours, and more. The program has proved highly effective and is offered in both synchronous and asynchronous models.

Girls who code clubs program are free after-school programs for 3rd-5th and 6-th-12th grade girls. Clubs can be run in-person or virtually, following adaption made in response to the covid-19 pandemic. The clubs curriculum includes activities for girls with zero computer experience as well as activities that introduce college-level coding concepts. Anyone teacher, librarian, parent, community leader can start a club regardless of experience with computer science. Gwc materials are designed so that facilitators can learn alongside students.

Girls who code marketing program promotes widespread campaigns to change the perception of what a coder is and looks like through in person events, online platforms, books, and education of public officials. The primary goal of campaigns is to drive brand awareness for the organization. Campaigns are typically tied to "tent-pole" moments (i.E. Gwc's annual sisterhood campaign for day of the girl, or "missing code" for computer science ed week) or are based on partner interest.
