​You'll learn to code in a fun, friendly way and join a sisterhood of students like you as you discover how to use technology to create a project of your choice. you'll learn concepts behind all programming languages, too, whether you want to build an app, create a website, design a game, or program a robot! Once you finish, tap into a network of girls, women, and leaders in Charleston. All girls and anyone who identifies as a girl or non-binary are welcome.

​Empowering girls

As the first to bring the Girls Who Code technology coding club to Charleston, we're financially empowering girls, especially girls of color, by preparing them for high-paying technology careers.

In its Annual Wage & Job Growth Survey, the Charleston Digital Corridor announced that the average per-capita wage at companies participating in its 2021 survey were $101,710: an increase from the previous year average of $91,183. This number is more than twice South Carolina’s average wage of $46,230 and the Charleston region's average wage of $50,810, according to the latest (May 2020) data available from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
