The Office of Information Technology is hosting Girls Who Code clubs in July, which offer free, fun computer science opportunities for girls third through 12th grade.
Undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff affiliated with CU Boulder who are passionate about closing the gender gap in technology. These facilitators are 100% volunteer-based and will learn alongside the girls as they explore the foundation of computer science concepts.
The curriculum is designed so that a wide-range of individuals affiliated with CU Boulder can share their real-life experiences with the club participants:
- Women in Tech Spotlights: Explore bravery, resilience, creativity and purpose through real-life examples.
- Learn: Self-guided tutorials where girls learn coding skills to build something they care about.
- Plan: Pick a focus and agree on what your club wants to create.
- Build: Code and test the project your club designed.
- Celebrate: Celebrate your friendships, progress and accomplishments!
The Grades 3–5 Club is July 16–19, and the Grades 6–12 Club is July 22–26. Both camps will be held on CU Boulder East Campus. Visit the Girls Who Code site to learn more, or sign up now.
