WHAT IS A GIRLS WHO CODE CLUB?
Girls Who Code Clubs are meant for girls to join our sisterhood of supportive peers and role models, and use Computer Science to change the world. When you join a Club, you will be able to learn from fun and simple online coding tutorials, build community through interactive activities, and learn about inspiring role models. You then work in teams to design and build a Girls Who Code Project that solves real world problems you care about through code!
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Our high school clubs will encourage you to impact your community in a positive way through code. In order to build the skills you need to make an impact, you will learn how to code from our fun online tutorials and activities that will help you build animations, games, apps, and other things that you dream up! We have tutorials in Scratch, Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and in a block-based app development language called Thunkable.
CAN I JOIN?
Yes! Whether you’re a beginner or a computer master, you’re invited to join the movement!
King George High School lady foxes in grades 9th - 12th are encouraged to join. Please log into you KGCS school email before clicking on "Join Now" below. |
What is coding? |
What is a girls who code club? |
Coding is, very simply, writing commands to instruct a computer to do something in a programming language it can understand. When your child learns to code, they learn to “speak” one of these different programming languages so that they can communicate directly to the computer and create animations, games, apps and other things that they dream up!

Girls Who Code Clubs are free after-school programs for girls to join our sisterhood of supportive peers and role models, and use computer science to change the world. Through fun and interactive curricula, Club girls not only learn about how to positively impact their community through code, but they are also taught to be brave and resilient -- which has an enormous impact on how they approach challenges and whether they stick with coding in the years to come.
