Make this summer unforgettable with the FREE virtual 2-week summer program, where you’ll join a supportive sisterhood and learn the computer science skills you need to make an impact in your community! Girls and non-binary students in the 9th – 11th grade (rising sophomores, juniors and seniors) are eligible to apply.
Girls Who Code will provide Virtual SIP program options, based on student availability and application volume during the following dates:
- Round 1: June 21 – July 2, 2021
- Round 2: July 12 – July 23, 2021
- Round 3: August 2 – August 13, 2021
EARLY ACCEPTANCE DEADLINE IS MID-FEBRUARY, 2021.

In Week 1, SIP students build two projects:
(1) a personal portfolio website and,
(2) a BuzzFeed-style personality quiz using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
In Week 2, students work on a final personal project focused on activism and web design. This will include planning guidance, design resources, and past SIP and student projects for inspiration. In addition to developing their Computer Science skills, they’ll learn about female role models in technology, past and present. They’ll be encouraged to take positive risks as they collaborate with other students to strengthen their resilience, intellectual curiosity, emotional intelligence, and sense of empowerment.
