Girls Who Code at UNC Chapel Hill
Girls Who Code at UNC Chapel Hill
is a student-run program taught by Computer Science students that aims to inspire and equip young girls with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue and explore Computer Science as a potential career path.
The Fall 2025 semester will feature three different classes. The first curriculum focuses on teaching Turtles: a Python feature that allows users to draw using code. The second simulates data science by teaching data visualization using matplotlib. Our third and newest curriculum teaches web development. Out of the three classes, the turtle class is the most beginner-friendly, while the other two classes may be more appropriate for students who have some coding experience.
Students who wish to participate can choose to attend sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings. All classes will be held in person at Sitterson Hall on UNC’s campus. There will be a total of eight weeks of classes during the fall semester.

When: Sunday June 23rd, 2023 at 4:00 PM until June 26th, 2023 2:30 PM.
Why: Great experience for college resume, explore majors and careers in STEM and Marine Science. Hands on learning for current scientists and graduate students.
How: To apply, parents should input information of interested student(s) to the following site by April 30th: https://forms.gle/3hDZefsYkBhr6cEE6
Free Middle and High School Students: NC Youth Marine Science Careers and Critical Issues: Summer Research Practicum-Elizabeth City State University (June 23-26)
Free Middle and High School Students: NC Youth Marine Science Careers and Critical Issues: Summer Research Practicum-Elizabeth City State University (June 23-26)
Introducing North Carolina Youth to Marine Science Careers and Critical Issues
A Summer Research Practicum, June 23rd - 26th 2024, focused on Marine Sciences hosted by Elizabeth City State University with lodging and meals provided by the Trinity Center at 618 Salter Path Rd, Pine Knoll Shores, NC 28512 and field visits to the Campus of Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, NC, The Rachel Carson Preserve and NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. Project funding is provided by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Student STEM Enrichment Program.
Participants are able to stay overnight in the dorms at the Trinity Center https://www.trinityctr.org/ all meals will be provided and there is no cost to participate. Parents will be provided a stipend upon program completion to help cover travel costs associated with drop off and pick up.
Students will engage in lessons and utilize research in facilities such as the University’s Research Vessels, Laboratories and classroom spaces. Marine Science topics will be integrated within STEM fields as follows:
Science: Currents, Erosion, Biodiversity & Coastal Ecology
Technology: Water Quality & Monitoring
Engineering: Sea Level Rise and Coastal Resilience.
Math: Population Dynamics and Fisheries Management.
In addition, during the summer practicum students will be exposed to potential maritime careers and fields of study. Within this summer experience students will choose an area of interest to further research with support of project personnel. Once the next academic year begins, the middle school students will collaborate with “near peer” mentors that are pre-service STEM teachers that are interning within or nearby to their schools. They will work with their mentor to develop a research project to present at their nearest regional science fair https://ncsef.org/fairs/
Who: Any boy or girl aged 13-16 that resides in and attends a middle or high school in North Carolina.
We will aim to have a 50/50 representation of boys/girls and will give preference to students from North Carolina and those who are enrolled in high needs districts. However all interested should apply, we will target up to 40 total students to participate.
Dr. Timothy Goodale, the Basnight Endowed Professor of STEM Education at Elizabeth City State University is the Director and Principal Investigator associated with this project. Any questions can be directed to him at 757-333-2881 (cell) or tagoodale@ecsu.edu (Email).
