Code/Art Clubs

Build Skills – Get Creative – Join Community

Code/Art clubs are creative coding clubs that meet weekly either in person or online and are for 3rd-12th 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.

Building Competence

Students learn programming and design skills through building creative projects in our clubs, camps, and workshops—gaining in-demand skills that will prepare them for careers of the future.

Creating Community

Code/Art programs connect girls with like-minded peers, fostering friendships and a sense of belonging. From the classroom to our wider network, Code/Art creates spaces where students connect, collaborate, and grow together.

Inspiring Confidence

We believe confidence grows when girls see what they’re capable of. In a supportive, all-girl environment, students build confidence by creating, problem-solving, and celebrating their progress.

School Year Coding Clubs

Code/Art Jr. Clubs

Grades 3-5

Code/Art Jr. lessons focus on coding art, creativity, skills development, and fun. Code/Art Jr. girls will learn to code art animations, games, and interactive art using Scratch block coding. Students also code generative art projects that can be submitted to Code/Art’s annual competition.

Code/Art Clubs

Grades 6-8

Code/Art club lessons cover a variety of programming languages, including Scratch, JavaScript, Python, HTML/CSS and more! There skills help prepare students for high-school computer science classes. Students also code generative art projects that can be submitted to Code/Art’s annual competition.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the goals of Code/Art Clubs?

Code/Art Clubs are creative coding clubs for 3rd-8th grade girls and non-binary students focusing on web and mobile app development, 3D modeling, game design, and digital art tools.

Club Goals:

Foster Creativity Through Technology
Encourage girls to express themselves artistically through code, blending technology with creativity in projects that showcase individual identity and creativity.
Build Confidence in Coding Skills
Provide a supportive, low-pressure environment where girls can build confidence by developing coding skills gradually, gaining familiarity with tools, languages, and problem-solving strategies in creative tech.
Encourage Collaborative Learning
Create a space where students collaborate, sharing ideas and learning from one another, facilitated by near-peer mentors who can relate closely to their experiences.
Promote Inclusivity in Tech Spaces
Foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where girls can feel comfortable exploring their interests in tech without fear of judgment, encouraging a sense of belonging in the world of STEM.
Develop Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking Skills
Introduce projects and challenges that build problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, preparing students for future learning and opportunities in STEM fields.
Provide Role Models and Mentorship
Connect students with near-peer instructors who are closer to their age and can serve as relatable role models, helping to demystify the path to learning coding and engaging with technology.
Encourage Project-Based Learning and Portfolio Building
Guide students in creating tangible projects they can showcase, building a sense of achievement and a portfolio that could serve as an asset in future pursuits. All Clubs wrap up with an end-of-year showcase that parents are invited to participate in.
Promote Career Awareness and Exploration
Introduce students to a wide range of career paths in tech through guest speakers and hands-on activities, demonstrating that tech offers many exciting and varied opportunities, especially in areas that combine art and coding.

Are Code/Art Clubs only for Girls?

Yes. Our girls’ clubs and competitions are a safe space to help girls persist. We are girls-first because the gender gap in tech is real.

Code/Art trained teachers, however, may implement our lessons into their existing co-ed clubs and courses so long as impact data is reported back to Code/Art.

How often do the clubs meet?

The clubs meet weekly for 1.5 hours either in person or online.

What will participants learn?

Participants will learn coding through art, creating animations, games, interactive art, and generative art projects using various programming languages.
