Each of the sessions in this Spring 2026 club will include instruction as well as hands-on project work.
No coding experience is necessary! For students in grades 3-5.
While Girls Who Code was specifically designed to remove the barriers preventing girls from engaging in science and technology education, our program is open to young people of all genders. |
