Code Girls United is empowering the next generator of innovators with: Free, after school programs that bring the language of code and problem solving power to girls in rural and tribal communities, Career readiness, and Tools for self-sufficiency.
Through our year long program, young girls gain experience in computer science and coding fundamentals, marketing best practices, business development & entrepreneurship, and writing and public speaking skills which supports the development and proficiency in math, reading, and executive function learning. In addition to learning coding and practical business skills, the young girls who enter our program walk away with a new sense of self-confidence in their abilities and an empowerment to take control of their future.
Our statewide programs are a combination of in-person and hybrid learning where students meet once a week after-school and at least once outside of our class. In the first half of the school year, new participants are taught the fundamentals of computer science and coding using MIT’s Appinventor, while returning participants are taught more in-depth lessons in computer science and learn advanced programming concepts. In the second half of the year, the girls are split into teams and tasked with identifying a community need, creating a business framework for their community service project, and developing an app as a solution to the community problem.
We also have an Advanced program using the same model, but with Python and Javascript learning. A Junior Leaders and Leaders program to facilitate the growth of our students, and Summer Camps for younger (Coding Groovy Unicorns), and older students with our CyberCat Camps. And in development our AI Academy.
