Girls Who Code – feedback requested

We understand that several of our students in the major either participated themselves, or have younger siblings who may have participated in a program called “Girls  Who Code”.  If you did, or know someone who did, and have any feedback on the program, we’d like to hear from you. You can email (Crystal) at ceney@cs with your comments.

Their group has asked to have us host a group for the summer and we’re just checking to make sure it was a good experience for students before considering the request.

Please let us hear your feedback by Tuesday 8th.
