Since last week’s notice about the Newton ‘Girls Who Code’ Club seeking additional volunteer instructors for next year (Oct-May), additional information is available about the activities and requirements of the position.  Instructors use the Girls Who Code curriculum and deliver short lectures, run discussions, and help girls with their coding projects.  The club also hosts guest speakers, goes on field trips, and develops soft skills like collaborating and presenting one’s work.  Club volunteers are passionate about closing the gender gap in technology and getting girls into this rewarding field.  Instructors must:

• Be proficient in at least one backend programming language,
• Have intermediate knowledge of data structures and algorithms,
• Be able to pass a background screening, and
• Commit to volunteer 2–3 hours per week.
