Girls Who Code: Free Virtual Summer Programs

Is your student ready to shape their future and join an empowering sisterhood? Become a coder this summer with Girls Who Code! 

Girls Who Code’s free virtual Summer Programs empower students to build skills, community, and a professional network for their future, in the ways that work best for them. There are two free programs offered:

  • Curious to create your own computer games? At this two-week Summer Immersion Program (SIP), students will learn how to design their own games using p5.js, a JavaScript library for creative coding. Join classmates and our dedicated Teaching Teams in live virtual classrooms hosted by industry-leading companies like MetLife, Bank of America, Logitech, and Synchrony. There are three rounds to fit your schedule: June 14 to June 28, July 8 to July 19, and July 29 to August 9.

    SIP is for current 9th-11th grade girls and non-binary students with beginner or intermediate coding experience, including program alums. Eligible students can even apply for a $300 SIP Student Grant and laptop and hot spot access!
     

  • Excited to explore the biggest topics in tech at your own pace? This six-week self-paced program offers tracks in web development, cybersecurity, and – new for 2024 – data science and artificial intelligence! From July 1 to August 9, students get to decide how and when to build their coding skills, and they can always ask questions in the Discord server or optional Student Hours.

    The Self-Paced Program is for current 9th-12th grade girls and non-binary students with beginner to advanced coding experience, including program alums.

Apply here by the early deadline, February 14, 2024, for priority consideration or apply by our general deadline, March 22, 2024.  Students should not miss this incredible opportunity to level up their coding skills, kickstart their future, tap into life-long career support, and have fun along the way!
