  • Girls Who Code Summer Programs (Virtual):
    • In our 2-week Summer Immersion Program for current 9th-11th graders, participants will join live, supportive classrooms hosted by industry-leading companies like MetLife, Bank of America, and Accenture. With our brand-new game design curriculum, they’ll learn the fundamentals of game design, UX, and the iterative design process. By the end of the program, participants will build a suite of short games using p5.js, a JavaScript library for creative coding. Eligible students can apply for laptop or hotspot access and $300 grants for financial support.
    • In our 6-week Self-Paced Program for current 9th-12th graders, participants will learn to code through independent study and real-world projects. Students can choose from three learning tracks and earn beginner-level certificates of completion in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript for web development or intermediate-level certificates of completion in Python for cybersecurity or data science.

Participants in all programs can access exclusive alumni benefits and career support for life, including our Hiring Summit, Technical Interview Prep, College Loops, Leadership Academy, GWC Talks webinars for career tips and strategies, and more.

Girls Who Code offers free virtual summer programs for high school girls and non-binary students, and offers free afterschool Clubs curriculum for 3-12th graders of all genders.
