Girls Who Code: Two Free, Virtual Summer Programs

Summer

Girls Who Code is offering two free, virtual programs this summer for U.S. students in Grades 9-11 who identify as girls or non-binary:

  • Summer Immersion Program is a live, virtual, 2-week introductory computer science course in which participants learn web development and explore the tech industry via company partners. Students who complete the additional Student Grant Application and qualify may receive tech support and grants of up to $500.
  • Self-Paced Program is a 6-week flexible computer science course for those who prefer not to adhere to a set schedule. It’s offered in two levels:  beginner (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and intermediate (Python for cybersecurity) and includes opportunities for weekly live advisory sessions and Girls Who Code activities.

You can apply for either or both with one application, but you can attend only one. Apply by February 16 for early decision or by March 18 for regular decision. For more information, see the video, read the FAQs, join a webinar, or email summer@girlswhocode.com.
