Girls work in small teams to help each other, decide on a shared solution and solve problems
Coding for girls
Use catchy, fun text to tell people what you offer.
Coding for Girls Program
A coding program for girls.
We encourage the girls to be innovators and risk takers. We believe that there are no failures, only solutions that are "more or less" effective.
Safe learning environment
We are totally open to getting feedback from the girls to learn what interests them. We will also track their interest level periodically to gauge their level of interest.
tracking interest and open feedback
Online coding and computer literacy classes designed for girls (7-18 years old)
Online year-round programs
Each session is 60 minutes long
Same instructor each week
Our instructors move at the pace of the students taking time to reinforce concepts as needed. We encourage the girls to become independent learners by giving them small practice tasks that they can do at home.
​
To ensure progress, there are multiple checkpoints in each course wherein we assess the understanding of concepts covered in class. Parents are kept updated on their girl's progress throughout. Assessments are done in the form of quizzes or independent mini-projects. There are three areas that we assess:
-
Knowledge
-
Application
-
Learning Attitude
The girls will receive Certificates of Completion and Progress Reports after each module.
Scratch Level 1
Introduction to Scratch (Rover) or equivalent experience is required.
This course introduces the girls to advanced coding concepts and new coding blocks in Scratch. After completing this program, girls will be able to design and program their own games and projects in Scratch. The girls will be ready to advance to Scratch Level 2.
​
Scratch Level 2
Scratch Level 1 or equivalent experience is required.
In this module, we expand upon the concepts introduced in Scratch Level 1. After completing this course, the girls will attain a mastery of the Scratch environment, develop strong computational thinking, and will be ready for text-based programming.
3D Modelling with Coding and Geometry
No previous 3D modelling experience is required for this course.
In this module the girls will learn the basics of creating digital 3D models from 2D drawings that could be printed using a 3D printer. After becoming familiar with important tools and functions of TinkerCAD, the girls will use visual code blocks to design, build and manipulate 3D structures.
Digital Making with Micro:bit
Micro:bit is a compact microcontroller that is used to encourage children to become creators of technology.
This course aims to introduce girls to the world of coding using Micro:bit, a versatile edu-tech tool that we will use on Microsoft's cloud based MakeCode platform.
Girls will have fun making games and animations while learning about foundational coding concepts.
App Design
Apps are everywhere. We use multiple apps on a daily basis to help us perform various tasks. In this course, the girls will learn the basics of good app design, follow a design framework to create a fun and visually appealing app using block-based coding.
​
No prior experience is required for this course.
​
Modding with Minecraft
No Previous Minecraft experience is required for this course.
​
Minecraft is a 3D game development environment that promotes critical thinking and spatial intelligence. If your girl loves Minecraft, this is a perfect way to take the Minecraft play to the next level.
​
No trial classes are offered for this course.
