Girls Who Code Club (3rd-5th Gr.)

An online Girls Who Code club for 3rd to 5th grade girls will be held during Spring 2022 ( 7 meetings on every other Wednesday @ 5-6 p.m. from Jan 26  to Apr 20.)

We learn Scratch together doing various projects. 

Kids will pick up the computer science concept such as order of codes, events, loops, conditionals, function and list through the projects.

Scratch is block-based which is easy to learn and the projects are fun to spark the interest of coding.
