Looking for less commitment? Girls Who Code also offers two-week coding summer options via its Campus program. (This is not a free camp, but scholarships are available).
The program is FREE for all participants. Students with limited financial resources can also apply for a stipend to cover transportation and other costs associated with attending.
How to apply: Complete the online application, which is due February 15, 2023, for early acceptance, or March 16, 2023, for the second round of applications.
The application does not require students to submit a letter of recommendation or letter grades. Students must fill out the online Survey Monkey application themselves, according to the Girls Who Code instructions. It is expected to take 20-30 minutes.
