It’s back to school, and we are…
Join Girls Who Code on Thursday, August 26 at 6:30 PM EST to learn about our Clubs for 3rd-12th graders and how you can access over 120 hours of FREE coding curricula, activities, and diverse women in tech spotlights!
RSVP here to let us know you’re coming, and we’ll get you up and running with Clubs faster than you can say “Let’s close the gender gap in tech!”
Can’t make it on the 26th? Register for one of our other webinar options here, or apply now to start your free Club.
