New to programming? Interested in learning new concepts? Join UT’s Girls Who Code College Loops! We’re partnering with WiCS to bring you the opportunity to learn to code new things, even if you’re not a Computer Science major!
Girls Who Code is an international non-profit organization working to close the gender gap in technology, and leading the movement to inspire, educate and equip young women with the computing skills needed to pursue 21st-century opportunities. The Girls Who Code College Loops are committed to reaching gender parity in tech by creating an inclusive community on campus.
College Loops are about more than programming, they’re on-campus organizations offering monthly challenges focusing on honing computer science skills and engaging women to take action, collaborate and create with one another. Meetings will consist of collaborative challenges aimed at building new skills, whether it be new programming languages, design skills, and more! Anyone at any experience level, even non-CS majors, is welcome!
We'd love for you to come and join us this fall! We go through a mini-challenges to have fun and learn something new :)
Stay tuned for monthly meeting dates and times! Our interest form will be coming soon.
