St. John's Prep wants to encourage girls to enter into computer science and programming related career paths by hosting a weekly Girls Who Code Club. Girls can join a safe and supportive environment of peers and 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.

Members will 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. As they become more proficient, girls work in teams to design and build a Computer Science “CS” Impact Project that solves real world problems they care about through code.
