  • 1-2 hours per week
    After school, on weekends, or during the summer

  • Sisterhood
    Join a safe and supportive environment of peers and role models where girls learn to see themselves as computer scientists.
  • Code
    Learn the concepts of loops, variables, conditionals and functions that form the basis of all programming languages.
  • Impact
    Work in teams to complete a computer science impact project that solves a real-world problem in your community.
    • Grades 3-5
      Clubs can be run entirely unplugged, with optional online components. Girls read and discuss one of our best-selling books, and then complete creative challenges. Free curriculum and support provided.
    • Grades 6-12
      Require a desktop or laptop computer and reliable internet access. Girls build coding skills and community as they create a computer science impact project. Free curriculum, meeting guides and tutorials, and facilitator support.

    "I was given the opportunity to talk to women who have successful careers in the field. They made me understand that computer science isn’t just about 1’s and 0’s, it’s about combining your interests with technology to better the future."
    Myisha Kinberg, Alum
