‘Girls Who Code’ Seeks Volunteer Instructors for Next Year

As noted last week, the Newton Girls Who Code club is planning to build on its successful first year and expand next year, from two sections (of up to 20 girls each) to three or more.  Additional technologies, such as 3D printing and Raspberry Pi, may also be offered.  Each section meets weekly at the Newton Free Library.  David Miller, a Google software engineer and the first to volunteer as a Newton GWC instructor, says:  “Newton GWC is now recruiting software engineers to volunteer as lead- or co-instructors for the 2015-6 school year.  Contact newtongwc@gmail.com if you’re interested in fostering the next generation of women technologists, software engineers, and computer scientists. We have a great time and learn to use computers to do anything.  Join us!”  David has written on the Google Cloud Platform blog about his experience with this club — as well as with teaching his daughters to code.
