Code/Art Clubs

Coding Clubs, Camps & Workshops

Code/Art clubs are creative coding clubs that meet weekly either in person or online and are for 3rd-8th grade girls and non-binary students. Club participants learn web and mobile app development, 3D modeling, game design, and tools for digital art and design. Club instructors are often alumni, trained instructors with a CS background or are Code/Art-trained teachers who lead a club as a school elective or after school club.

Express Yourself

By adding the ART to Code, Code/Art clubs aim to have words like “creative” and “exciting replace “boring” and “difficult” in the minds of girls when they think about coding.

Find Community

Code/Art clubs are engaging, supportive and collaborative spaces where girls are free to learn together, ask questions, and help one another! 

Showcase Work

Students assemble a portfolio of cool coding projects and are also able to enter their projects in Code/Art’s national and regional coding competitions to win prizes and get their work recognized!

“I love when you look back at your code and it looks really complex it’s really cool to think ‘wow I did that and I understand it.'”

End of Year Showcase

Code/Art Club members gain programming skills in the first two-thirds of the year that they utilize in a capstone group coding project – where they build a website, app, or game.

At the end of each school year, students present their projects during a showcase/graduation event hosted by Code/Art for parents, students and instructors to attend and celebrate the accomplishments from that shool year.
