In this club, girls will be exposed to computer programming, a field that is currently in need of more female programmers. Girls will have the opportunity to choose what they create with coding, be that a game, story, digital poster, or something different altogether - the choice is theirs. As we begin the program with block-based coding, some girls may choose to expand their knowledge base by diving into script-based programming or integrate robotics programming into their knowledge base.
