What is the camp like?
A few more detailsPartnership
The material for these camps was developing as a partnership between:

It's more fun to code as a team! We practice this idea when we make material too!
Mission statement
The mission of the Connecting with Code camp is centerred around three main pillars:
Mindset, Mentorship, and Fun!
We are fully confident that young people will experience opportunities to code in their lives. We want to
make
sure that when that day comes they say to themselves "I know coding. This is something I might want to do. I
can totally do this." To get to that point we have this camp with knowledgable Rose-Hulman students mentors
available to help make sure their first experience is a positive (instead of scary) start to
programming. Addtionally, we try to get young people excited about code and help get them
connected with online programming resources that they can continue to use beyond the week of the camp.
There is a whole big world of programming resources already online.
Our program would like to also extend a special invitation to women and other underrepresented
minorities
to start
learning about code. As mentioned by the National Girls Collaborative
Project, August 2016, 74% of girls express an interest in
STEM in middle school, but by high school only 0.4% of girls plan to major in Computer Science in college.
We
would love to see more
women and more underrepresented minorities in our Computer Science / Software Engineering classes at
Rose-Hulman one day! We welcome everyone, of
course, but would love to see change happen in our culture to more evenly balance the gender and
diversity gap in computer science. Come be part of the change! Learn more online about how you can provide
