Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area’s Post

Did you know that you can schedule your #NorthTexasGivingDay donation early? Do it today! https://lnkd.in/gA5fvFEA We are asking the community to equip a new generation to Dream, Code & Create. This includes establishing Coding Clubs at three new school partners in under-resourced neighborhoods, allowing more students the opportunity to learn vital computer science skills with the guidance of technology mentors. Here’s what new funding will help us accomplish this year: $50 can cover the cost of flyers, posters, and staff time to recruit students for a school-based Coding Club $75 can provide 5 students with access to Codio, an IDE and digital learning platform where students code their projects and access learning materials $100 can cover staff time to recruit, train, and support new volunteer mentors $250 can help cover the cost of CNM-pact, software that measures student learning outcomes $500 can provide after-hours pay to a teacher liaison supporting a Coding Club $1,500 can create new computer science curriculum for Bold Idea students Every little bit counts and can add up to have a huge impact! #computerscience #codingclubs #boldidea #mentoring #levelup

In 2023 Webgyrlz Code launched our "Mommy & Me" Computer Science Boot Camps ™ - programming classes that take a 2-generational approach to bring more female software engineers into the workforce. We can’t do this important work of computer science training without the generosity of donors who care about providing opportunity and hope. #pocit #womenintech #girlswhocode #webdesign #nonprofit #csforall #momscancode
