Girl Scouts of Greater New York is hosting a camp called “Breaking the Code” that is a weeklong coding, filmmaking, and leadership camp. This is a great opportunity to learn more about what programmers do and what kinds of careers could be open to girls interested in computer science or STEM fields. Hosted at Microsoft office girls will have a chance to have a conversation with current employees on what they do and how they got there. They’ll also use their voice and learn about advocacy and film their very own public service announcement! Previous topics for PSA’s have covered everything from ocean pollution to animal abuse. The camps are open to 6th-12th grade girls and part of this amazing program is that it is not only open to Girl Scout members, but non-members as well. We highly encourage girls to bring a friend to attend camp with them!
