Current sophomore and junior girls are invited to apply now for the Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program — seven weeks of intensive instruction in robotics, web design, and mobile development, coupled with presentations, field trips, and career-focused mentorship by female entrepreneurs and engineers in technology companies and universities. Beginners are welcome. Each group of 20 girls will study and work together at a site in one of 15 cities in the U.S. The Boston sites and dates are:
- Akamai and Twitter: June 29 – August 14
- Google, Microsoft, and TripAdvisor: July 6 – August 21
Topics, activities, and speakers are chosen to empower young women with skills to contribute to their schools and communities. This is a commuter (not residential) program. Participants must commit to attending all seven weeks, Monday-Friday, 9AM-4PM. See the video. Applications are due February 12.
