About Us

Piloted under the UC Berkeley chapter, this organization holds a ten-week programming course that encourages the development of a female computer science community and teaches students the foundations of Python. Currently our classes are held for middle school girls (6th to 8th grade) .

Our classes start with an introduction to computer science principles through Scratch. We introduce the basics of logical thinking and introduce the general terms like conditionals and variables. We spend the rest of the time learning Python. We spend each class talking about certain topics starting with variables and types of objects (int, float, etc.) and ramp up as the week goes, hitting things such as conditionals, for loops, while loops, and lists (among others).
