Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Technology Program
Here is a great opportunity for internships from the organization, Girls Who Code. Girls Who Code works to educate, inspire, and equip young women with the skills and resources to pursue academic and career opportunities in computing fields. Girls Who Code’s vision is to reach gender parity in computing fields. GWC believes this is paramount to ensure the economic prosperity of women, families, and communities across the globe, and to equip citizens with the 21st century tools for innovation and social change. GWC believes that more girls exposed to computer science at a young age will lead to more women working in the technology and engineering fields.
Girls Who Code is aggressively recruiting 10th and 11th grade girls to apply to three of their summer immersion programs.
In their summer programs, 10th and 11th grade girls will have an extraordinary opportunity to gain skills and be exposed to careers in computer science and technology. Girls will tour the halls of reputable tech firms such as Facebook, Google and Twitter, as well as learn how to create their own mobile apps, robots and more.
