Welcome!
The PCSECHS Girls Who Code Club is a free after-school program intended to teach 9-13th grade girls about computer science and how to use their skills to impact our community. Our club provides a sisterhood of supportive peers and role models to all of our participants.
Mission
Girls Who Code was founded with a single mission:
close the gender gap in technology
Outcomes
Sisterhood
Club girls join a safe and supportive environment of peers & role models and learn to see themselves as computer scientists. Beyond the Club, girls can tap into an alumni network of tens of thousands of girls across the country who are using computer science to solve problems they care about.
Coding
Club girls learn the concepts of loops, variables, conditionals, and functions that form the basis for all programming languages — whether they want to build a website, an app, or a robot. Returning Clubs girls can deepen their programming knowledge through extended activity sets.
Impact
Club girls work in teams to design and build a Computer Science “CS” Impact Project that solves real world problems they care about through code.
Our Current CS Impact Project
Pitt Teen Networking
With the help of our community partners, we are in the process of creating a networking website for teens in Pitt County. Our goal is to connect students with businesses in Pitt County through opportunities to job shadow, intern, work part-time, and volunteer in one, easy-to-search site.
