Girls work in small teams to help each other, decide on a shared solution and solve problems
collaborative learning
Use catchy, fun text to tell people what you offer.
Engineering Design Process
EDP approach is encouraged among girls during the problem solving tasks, so that they learn to think like engineers.
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.

Online coding and computer literacy classes designed for girls (7-16 years old)
Scratch Level 1
Introduction to Scratch or equivalent experience is required.
This module builds on Introduction to Scratch in the Rover program and focuses on the concepts listed below.
In this course we focus on building games and animations, many of them are aligned with developing mathematical thinking like patterns and geometry. After completing this course, 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.
This course will take 16 sessions to complete.
