Here at Girls Who Code, we care deeply about serving students who are underrepresented in the technology field and equipping them with technical skills and an enriching experience in STEM. We are especially committed to serving marginalized communities that lack access to technology and coding programs.
What is SIP?
SIP is an experience of a lifetime hosted by our corporate partners like AT&T, Goldman Sachs, Disney and more.
· SIP is a 2-week virtual program with staggered rounds throughout the summer.
· Participation is 100% free. We also provide need-based tech access support and need-based stipends of up to $300 for those who qualify.
· Applications are now open! Our early acceptance deadline is coming up soon in mid-February.
Eligibility:
Students must:
· Identify as female, non-binary, or gender non-conforming
· Be a rising sophomore, junior or senior (current 9th-11th grader)
· Be able to commit to the entire 2 week program
· Students can participate whether they are complete beginners or already have some computer science experience

Sign up here for an informational call with me, Marissa, to learn more about the program and ask any questions you may have.
If none of the options work for you, please let me know and I’d be happy to coordinate a different time that does.
