The Girls Can Code Camps are underway this Summer at BISD Middle Schools. Girls participating in the camps will have the opportunity to learn about different programming languages, code a small robot, participate in Coder Z missions programming a virtual bot, among other skills. We are very excited to be able to offer this opportunity to girls in our community.
To learn how you can join a Girls Coding Club at your middle school campus during the school year ask a member of your office staff, or contact the ISET Department at 956-554-4773.
