WHAT

This free one-week summer 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 explores the diverse opportunities available to women who code.

WHO

Girls interested in software programming (coding) who are entering the 8th, 9th, or 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, at an age where they will be making education decisions that may guide them into technology-oriented fields.

  • After registering, if your plans change and you can no longer attend, please email [email protected] as soon as possible so we can offer your spot to another camper.
  • Additionally, registered campers and/or their parents will receive two confirmation emails, at approximately 3 months and 1 month before the camp. You will be required to respond to these emails to confirm the camper's spot in the session.
