Girls Who Code
​3rd - 5th Grade Clubs

are designed to build a community of girls who actively design, code, read and explore together. Featuring interactive activities, characters, and vocabulary drawn from one of our best-selling books,  3rd-5th Grade Clubs expose girls to bravery, resilience, and computational thinking at the exact moment when research indicates that their interest is high and can be transformed into ongoing interest and engagement in computer science.

Girls Who Code
​6th - 12th Grade Clubs

revolve around a Girls Who Code Project, where Club girls work in teams to design and build a project that solves real world problems they care about through code. We offer resources and tutorials for students with ZERO computer science experience all the way up to activities that introduce college-level concepts--to keep Club girls coming back year after year!

Start a FREE Girls Who Code Club today!

Girls Who Code provides free and flexible curriculum, resources, and a mini-grant of $300 if you have 3+ students enrolled in your Club.

All you need is space, computers and internet, and an adult who is 18+ to help facilitate the Club. Clubs are led by Facilitators, who can be teachers, computer scientists, librarians, parents, or volunteers from any background or field. 

To learn more about Girls Who Code programs, you can sign up for a Girls Who Code Webinar here. You can also take a look at a step-by-step guide on how to start a Girls Who Code Club.
