The Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program (SIP) is a free, virtual, two-week introductory computer science course for high school girls and non-binary students in grades 9-11. The program focuses on game design using p5.js, a JavaScript library for creative coding. Students will learn the elements of game design, the iterative design process, and UX design basics. The curriculum covers beginner to intermediate computer science concepts, with daily guided coding instruction and project work in small teams. Participants will create a variety of short games and design their own game around a specific prompt during a 4-day game jam. The program also includes networking lunches, speaker panels, and Q&A sessions with women working in tech, offering exposure to real engineers and product people. Students will gain technical and leadership skills, build confidence in coding, and become part of a global community dedicated to increasing gender diversity in tech. The program emphasizes problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience, and culminates in a final impact project where students use code to address a social issue.
A typical day includes morning check-in, guided coding instruction with the cohort, lunch with employees from the host company, project work in small teams with a TA, and a late afternoon speaker session, panel, or career discussion.
This program is ideal for high school girls and non-binary students curious about technology who want a real introduction to coding, exposure to tech workplaces, and a supportive community of peers.
