<HowGirlsCode> Mind, Body & Coding Summer Camp @ UMBC 

Girls will challenge their minds through coding and robotics and will nurture their bodies and well-being through meditation and self-empowerment exercises. Each day girls will enjoy daily programming classes, hands-on robotics sessions incorporating the engineering process, daily yoga instruction, hear from guest speakers, and tour the UMBC campus. Girls in grades 3 and 4 will use Tynker programming and Lego WeDo® robotics. Girls in grades 5 and 6 will use Scratch programming and Lego Mindstorms® EV3 robotics. Both sessions are offered to girls rising to grades 3 through grades 6. Supervised drop-off begins at 8:30 a.m. and campers must be picked up by 4:00 p.m. Students must provide their own nut-free lunch. HowGirlsCode will provide a healthy, nut-free snack daily. Girls who qualify for free or reduced meals (FARMS) qualify for camp scholarships. 
Week 1:  July 11th-July 15th 
Week 2: July 18th-July 22th
