girls who code

This summer two incoming Newark Board of Education seniors completed the Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program. This program helped these young women learn computer science skills that will help them make an impact on their community while learning about a wide variety of career opportunities in technology. This program also allows these students to learn networking skills and be exposed to real world work experiences.

Congratulations to Jaya Byfield from Bard Early College High School and Muqtadira Alli from Science Park High School for their participation this summer.
