Camp Code
WHAT
This free one-week camp is designed for girls entering the 8th, 9th, and 10th grade to spark their interest in pursuing future careers in the STEM fields.
Participants take part in a variety of educational coding games and activities led by experienced female software developers. Camp Code introduces participants to a variety of women in technology and explore the diverse opportunities available to women who code.
WHO
Girls interested in software programming (coding) who will be in the 8th, 9th, and 10th grade.
As a technology company, FAST recognizes that there is a lack of women in technology fields. We’re hosting this camp with the hope of introducing girls to the opportunities available to them in those fields. We’re offering this camp to rising ninth graders, who are at an age where they will be making education decisions that may guide them into technology-oriented fields.
