Since 2011, Black Girls Code has supported girls of color in tech through coding education and more. We partner with schools and organizations to offer a range of programs, both in-person and virtual, for ages 7-25. Our initiatives go beyond coding to build confidence and connections, enhancing technical skills, community bonds, and career paths.
Multi-week courses, workshops, and training events expand tech skill sets.
Day camps, hackathons, and alumnae activities build connections.
Alumnae activities and corporate sponsorships pave career paths.
At Black Girls Code, we cater to a diverse range of age groups, ensuring tailored learning experiences for each stage of a young coder’s journey. Our programs include:
Elementary school students dive into block based coding languages like Scratch.
Middle school students begin to transition from block based language into JavaScript and Python.
High school students earn advanced skills in these languages.
From coding games to creating AI-powered projects, our workshops spark creativity and teach valuable tech skills—sign your child up today to turn their passions into possibilities!
