Summer Immersion Program
Coding, Sisterhood, Bravery
Due to the impact of COVID-19, Girls Who Code has pivoted our Summer Immersion Program to become a virtual 2-week opportunity for rising 10th to 12th-grade girls.
What is the Summer Immersion Program?
This 2-week virtual program teaches girls the computer science skills they need to make an impact in their community while preparing for a career in tech. Participants will get exposure to tech jobs, and join a supportive sisterhood of girls in tech.
