GIRLS WHO CODE EXPLORING COMPUTER SCIENCE

The Girls Who Code Club is an important club here at HSE. It is a safe and supportive environment of peers and role models where girls find themselves and learn how to see themselves as computer scientists.

“At the beginning of the year, we focused on creating a learning environment for the club members,” The club’s administration team member Mary Ganey said. “We presented project tutorials and examples for inspiration- with the end goal being that club members would create projects in groups or individually.”

Despite working hard on the projects, the club is not always concerned about winning competitions. “We work on coding and cybersecurity projects that benefit all,” Club sponsor Julie Alano said. “We also have activities to build [friendships] and confidence as well as food!”

The club meets every Wednesday from 3-4 after school in F241. Story and photo by Addison Ginther.
