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.
