An ACM Celebration

Girl Who Code (GWC) Club at Miami University started in 2016. Since then, club members have organized events to encourage girls in middle-high schools to study in computing fields. For the last two years, GWC has organized its program under the iSpace, which is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Trustees consisting of area educators, business leaders, and individuals who volunteer their time and talents to further education in STEM over 20 years across the Greater Cincinnati area. GWC has designed a 10-week program to introduce girls in grades 6-9 to the exciting world of coding and computer science. Every Monday evening, the program offers participants an engaging learning experience where they develop foundational coding skills, work on creative projects, and explore how technology can solve real-world problems. Kati and Isha (club admin team) want to share their experiences with the conference participants in the short student talk session.
