FAQ
Q: What will I learn?
A: Our 2012 alums say it best but here’s a snapshot: You will learn the basics of web design, robotics, mobile development, and much more. You will be proficient in computer science and able to develop your own websites, programs and apps. Equally exciting, though, are the opportunities you will have to learn from women who work in technology and are currently building things that change our world. These women will serve as mentors, instructors, tour guides, speakers, lunch companions, and potentially life-long connections.

Q: I don’t know anyone who has studied computer science; what would someone do with a degree in computer science?
A: We’re working to change that. Computer scientists, engineers, developers, and entrepreneurs improve the world in which we live each and every day. They find new ways to identify tumors, create systems that allow us to buy things from our beds, connect villages in far-away continents with clean water, animate your favorite movies, and constantly search for the next innovation. They are curious, creative, and eager to work with you.
Q: How much does the Summer Immersion Program cost?
A: Girls Who Code believes that all young women should have access to computer science education and, thanks to the generous support of our partners and sponsors, is able to offer our Summer Immersion Program free of cost. Participants contribute to the program through their commitment, creativity, and and hard work.
