We started off this week's meeting with an ice breaker, "Guess Who". Each member wrote a few fun facts about herself on a piece of paper. The facts were read aloud and the rest of the members had to determine who that particular person was. This icebreaker encouraged team building and confidence for members to speak out!
3. Sprint #2: Groups of two and three from the previous sprint continued to work on their website (a call-to-action, non-profit organization or movement, or something they're passionate about). Members also got a lesson from Vindhya, our Curriculum Director, on how to utilize CSS in their websites. Click on the button below to read more on how we taught!

This week, we began with another fun icebreaker: "This or That?" Would you rather swim in a pool full of Nutella or a pool full of maple syrup? Believe it or not, more people opted to swim in Nutella over maple syrup... what would you choose?
Sprint #1: For our first sprint, we paired off into groups of two and three and set off to learn to code in HTML using Glitch, a collaborative programming environment that lives in your browser and deploys code as you type. Teams were asked to build a simple website for a call-to-action, non-profit organization, or movement they are passionate about. Teams will continue to build on their websites over the next few sprints to come as they continue learning more and more about HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

For this week, we started off playing charades as an ice breaker.
Exploring Sprints: We formed two groups to experiment with Canva, a graphic design platform, used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content. Both groups did a fabulous job creating potential logo designs for GWC.

Introducing Our Goals:
Building Community
Through establishing this community of women passionate in CS, we hope GWC will encourage anyone no matter the skill set to develop their coding skills.
Teach CS Basics
All coding projects are meant to be completed during meetings (unless you'd prefer to get ahead!)
Plan on working with: HTML/CSS, Glitch, and SCRUM to learn about Collaborative Frameworks, Web/App Development, Resumé Workshops, and Graphic Design Concepts!
Outreach
Work with K-12 schools and help them start their own Girls Who Code chapters.
