FREE! GR. 8-9 GIRLS CODING PROGRAM
We are fortunate to have UBC’s Let’s Talk Science and the Computer Science department facilitate two six week sessions for girls interested in coding. One is an introductory program (no experience necessary) and an advanced group for those with some knowledge. Both are at John Oliver and also free. Programs run on Tuesdays from 3:30 pm to 5:45 pm.
If you are a gr. 8-9 girl who is interested either go to the CST office (by the bandroom) and see Mr. Shmyr OR click the link for the form—> LTS Coding Registration Form
