Our Summer Immersion Program is a free 7-week introductory computer science program for 10th-11th grade girls going into their junior or senior year of high school. During the 7-week program, participants learn about computer science, gain exposure to tech jobs, and join a sisterhood of girls who are using computer science to become change-makers.

Skills and Impact
Learn to computer science through hands-on real-world projects in art and storytelling, robotics, video games, and web sites, apps and more! Your summer experience culminates in a final Girls Who Code Project where you work in teams to build a project that builds on the skills you’ve learned in the program.
Sisterhood

Careers
Spend your summer at the world’s hottest tech companies! You’ll learn about tech careers by connecting with female engineers and entrepreneurs, participating in workshops, meeting inspiring guest speakers, and going on field trips.
What Will I Learn, Do, or Make?
Each week of the program covers projects related to computer science, such as art, storytelling, robotics, video games, web sites, and apps. You’ll also hear from guest speakers, participate in workshops, connect with female engineers and entrepreneurs, and go on field trips.
