Get excited! Girls Who Code at Binghamton University is expanding our outreach and enhancing our flexibility with more opportunities for students.
Our pilot program launches in Spring 2020. This is a biweekly after-school program that teaches beginner computer science concepts to young women. We’ll be alternating between two high schools: Binghamton High School and Whitney Point. Our teaching instructors will be coming in to guide our students for five sessions.

The Mission
We are offering a means to tap into the world of programming, teach scripting languages in students’ classrooms and will be providing laptops with preloaded software and curriculum.
Curious? Students will be learning about Python, Java and JavaScript and be able to get hands on with Arduinos, build an app and practice website design. This is a free program and spots are limited, so make sure to sign up before seats are taken! We are excited to branch out, become mentors and close the gap in STEM.
