Programs

Huskie Robots will foster disadvantaged girls’ computer science skills through Wonder Workshops’ Learn to Code curriculum, developing their ability to run a series of K-3 lunch-bunch robotics sessions, allowing for sustained programming across grades, leading to a school robotics team. Leaders will either be Technopreneur participants or new 4th graders.

Girls Code: Advanced is a weekly class that will teach girls in grades 6-9 how to build and code robots using Arduino. By the end of the five-week-long class, the girls will design, build, and code their own robot to help solve an environmental issue of their choice.

The program will educate girls on cybersecurity concepts and teach them to develop their own mobile application. Girls will learn about different hacking techniques and basic cybersecurity precautions. They will then learn Scratch and mobile app development. Lastly, the girls will apply their knowledge as they address a community need.

This program will include game creation with Bloxels, CamJam Car building with Raspberry Pis, and a career discovery day that will include an end of the program celebration.

At TECH Camp, middle school girls can spend 3 weekends learning to code a game in Scratch about their social issue of choice. Along the way, the girls will make new friends, learn to work in a team, and develop important technological and communication skills.
