On the final day of Software.org’s 2020 Girls Who Code program, our class celebrated their hard work by presenting final projects among fellow classmates and representatives from Software.org. Students utilized their new web development skills to design a custom website drawing awareness to an issue or cause of their choice and we were so impressed with what our students built after two short weeks of learning! To close out the day, Girls Who Code hosted a virtual graduation ceremony for students across the country with inspiring commencement speeches from GWC executives and program alumni.
