Girls Coding Workshop - Summer 2018

In this weekly 6-week program by UBC Let's Talk Science and GIRLsmarts4tech, students will learn to code using Blocks and Python. In the first four weeks students will be introduced to basic concepts including if statements, for and while loops, and functions. The last two weeks are reserved for a final project in which each student creates their own working game. We hope that this program will give students a sense of what some of the possibilities are for things you can create by coding, and give you the tools you need to pursue learning more after the program ends!

The program is primarily designed for students with no prior coding experience, but if you've already learned some things that's great! They'll work with you to figure out how to make sure you get the most out of the program, whether that's reviewing old concepts, working ahead on your own project, or learning by helping out other students in the group.

The program is open for girls entering grades 7-9. Register by August 3rd.
