Help 25 to 30 girls learn computer programming in Mountain View, CA!

If you live around Mountain View, CA, and love kids, programming, and/or Haskell, read on!

Empoder is a non-profit organization established to teach computer science to underprivileged kids. They are looking for volunteers to help with a coding club called Empower Girls Through Code, at Graham Middle School in Mountain View, CA. This will be 25 to 30 girls, of middle school ages. The club is led by a teacher at Graham, and we have some teaching assistants already there to help. Empoder would like a couple more volunteers, to make sure there are enough people to give one-on-one help when it’s needed.

Who: A teacher, some fellow TAs, you, and 25 to 30 middle school girls excited about learning to code.

Where: Graham Middle School, Mountain View, CA

When: Wednesdays, 7:50 to 9:20 am, starting January 27

Why: Because it’s amazing… easily the most fun thing I have ever done.

The class will use CodeWorld, a web-based programming environment using a dialect of Haskell. But you don’t need to know that to volunteer. We can all learn together.

Hope to see you there! If interested, email marissa.yanez@empoder.org.
