Who are Code First Girls?
Code First Girls are a social enterprise that provides coding educational interventions for women who are interested in a career in technology.

What are the courses?
Delivered virtually in small classes of 15 with dedicated and experienced instructors, the courses are structured with two evening classes a week (6-8pm) for four weeks. Designed to help women develop industry endorsed skills through hands-on projects, participants finish the course with an applied knowledge of coding languages like HTML, CSS, and Javascript, Python, or SQL. Courses start in May, June, and July and run for four weeks.
