You're Invited!
Interested in bringing free computer science learning opportunities to your afterschool program?
Join the Office of Library and Information Services for a live webinar with Girls Who Code Regional Partnership Coordinator Rachel Ross to learn more about implementing Girls Who Code.
Girls Who Code Clubs are FREE afterschool programs for 6th-12th grade girls to join a sisterhood of supportive peers and role models and use computer science to change the world. Participants not only learn hard coding skills and computational thinking, but they’ll also learn project management skills, collaboration, bravery, resilience, how to positively impact their community, and so much more.
When you start a GWC Club, you’ll gain access to free resources, flexible plug and play curriculum, funding opportunities, ongoing support, alumni opportunities for your young learners, and more. There’s no computer science experience needed to get started since GWC is there for you every step of the way.
Please register to receive the webinar login information. This webinar will be recorded and made available to registrants following the webinar.
Date: Friday, April 3, 2020
Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Location: Webinar
Presenter(s): Rachel Ross, Girls Who Code Regional Partnership Coordinator
