CodeGirls@Argonne Camp

Think like an Argonne computer scientist

CodeGirls@Argonne Camp brings together 6th and 7th-grade girls to take the first step in exploring what it means to think like an Argonne computer scientist!

 
Along the way in this free, 5-day program, participants will connect with other girls and solve fun challenges as a team. You’ll also meet inspiring Argonne women scientists who are using code to solve the big challenges of our world, and learn about the awesome role that women have played throughout history in developing technology.

No coding experience is required, so this is a great opportunity for young girls with no past knowledge of the field to get their first dive into the amazing world of coding, robotics, and science! Start your journey on the science pathway with the camp today!
