Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We are grateful to all of the young women willing to share their time with us learning how to code, never giving in or up while figuring out how to overcome obstacles, discovering ways to solve problems, and believing in themselves!
It was incredible to watch the confidence of participants grow from day 1 to day 3 of camp. Walking with young women as they blossom and begin to engage and discover their own potential, is simply one of the most rewarding experiences possible.
Thank you parents for sharing your young women with us and for supporting them in their pursuit to learn computer science principles, concepts, coding and programming languages, and embracing the creativity needed to come back for more, every single day.
'Til next year...
