Girls Who Code Summer Session 2024 sponsored by Chevron and TFAE hosted local girls in a technology camp held at Fletcher Technical College

Thirty girls entering grades 5-9th joined us from across Terrebonne Parish for a week filed with coding, hands-on STEM activities, sisterhood, hear from amazing women in STEM careers, and much more!

Below are photos, videos, projects, and more from our fun week together. It's our hope that these awesome Girls Who Code learned not only about technology, but how to never give up!

Thank you Chevron for funding this camp and continued support of education!

Girls Who Code 2024 Campers

Our brave, inspiring, and awesome Girls Who Code!

Makey Makey Kit + Scratch Projects

Our Girls Who Code used Makey Makey kits, an innovation tool, to pair with their Scratch projects, a coding platform. The results can be just about anything you can imagine! Take a look at these photos of coding, imagination, and hard work in process!

Coding Projects

Campers utilized a platform called Scratch to learn and practice their coding skills. With these projects, they could make characters and have them move, dance, interact, and more. Girls created also created "loops" and "conditionals" which allowed them to build on their skills and have their characters do more complex actions. Some even had a dance off and created their own answer-and-response games!

Puzzle Pieces

By itself, didn't look like much but when combined all of their pieces together - it revealed a secret code, which happened to be the motto of our camp:
BRAVE NOT PERFECT!

In addition to coding and technology, our camp is also about building confidence, speaking to and about ourselves positively, learning to be brave, and knowing it's better to TRY than to be perfect.

Binary Bracelets

Computers send and store all information using binary code, a way that information can be represented using only two options. Our Girls Who Code explored this idea by making Binary Bracelets.

Thank you to all of our speakers for inspiring our Girls Who Code!
