What Makes Us Unique?
EASY TO UNDERSTAND
Our program can be taught to girls as young as 8 years old.
NO EQUIPMENT NEEDED
We provide all equipment (for in-person classes) for the girls to learn code and build their website. All we need are girls ready to learn.
NO INTERNET NEEDED
Our program was designed to be taught in ALL communities. No Internet Access? NO PROBLEM! Our program is taught the same way as class spaces with the Internet.
VIRTUAL LESSONS
Our curriculum has successfully been taught online for 2 years. We can offer the same in-person experience vritually.

We are honored and humbled to be a recipient of 1 of 7 General Operating Support Grants from Central Carolina Community Foundation.
