Code Girls Connects

Meet Sage! Sage has been with us for 7 years and is starting her senior year! After she graduates she plans to study Computer Science at Montana State University!

She has been the Congressional App Challenge Runner-Up along with her team for the past three years and has been one of our interns for two years! This summer she attend MIT's Education Summit and partipated in the MIT App Inventor Youth Incubator Program (YIP).

"Code Girls has not only taught me how to develop and code apps but has also opened my world up to so many different possibilities and given me new skills. With Code Girls, I have learned to work in a team, how to speak confidently in front of a crowd, and how to design and present a business plan when developing an app." - Sage

Our brilliant student and intern, Sylvia is featured on this post from App Inventor! We’re so grateful for our relationship with the App Inventor Foundation. Our student use the MIT App Inventor as the platform for creating their apps in our afterschool programs! It’s an incredible resource for learning block coding, logic flow, design and so many other technical skills that build upon critical thinking skills and problem solving!

Sylvia is a wonderful part of CGU and is a shining example of what our students are capable of when given access and opportunity to gain technical knowledge and skills!

This weeks Computer Science Term of the Week is Syntax Error.

Following up from last week's word Syntax, we explore Syntax Errors.

Syntax Error is an error that occurs when the code is not written in the expected format of the programming language. Syntax errors are usually detected by the interpreter or compiler before the program is executed. Often something simple like a missing semicolon or an incorrectly capitalized letter.

Code Girls United is participating in the Great Fish Community Challenge! We need 25 gifts of $25 or more each week (by each Thursday at 12pm MDT) during the challenge. These donations will help us be eligible for a $1k incentive grabt drawing! Every gift counts!.

Support Montana Girls while investing in their potential and helping power the future.

Meet Emma! Emma has been with us for 8 years and is starting her first year at Montana State University studying Business Management and Political Science.

She has won the Congressional App Challenge along with her team twice, is a proud Hilleman Scholars and has been one of our interns for two years!

"I have loved learning business software skills and set me up for success in college!" - Emma

This weeks Computer Science Term of the Week is Syntax.

Syntax is the way a particular programming language expects its code to be typed, following the rules defined by that language. Kind of like grammar for English.

Our Code Girls United students learn to understand the syntax for MIT App Inventor code blocks. You can learn about AI in our free AI Academy at the link in our bio.
