Another great year of coding has wrapped up!

Special thanks to the Girls Who Code-d for the 2022-2023 session! You truly embody the GWC ideals of bravery, resilience, creativity, and purpose.

Good luck to our graduate, and to our returning members, we look forward to seeing you again next fall!

This past year, the Girls focused on skill-building activities and independent projects that helped them to gain knowledge about different programming languages and good programming practices.

We also had a lot of fun with Crafting Code activities that combined coding and STEM with art, history, culture, and more! You can try these at home, too:

• Finger-knitting: we explored how knitting patterns included secret messages and codes in Charles Dickens’ A  Tale of Two Cities and during World War II efforts. Then we knit our own scarves! For step-by-step instructions, click here.
• Binary code initial stretchy bracelets: we researched the binary system used by computers (the series of 1’s and 0’s representing “on” and “off”) and beads in black and glow-in-the-dark to write out our names’ initials. 
• Piet Mondrian and Image Representation: a pencil-and-paper and computer coding mash-up from fellow coders across the Pond at CAS London and CS4FN inspired by the modernist artist Piet Mondrian. Below is my incomplete artistic endeavor.
