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!

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!
