天涯海角APP

天涯海角APP University will host Sisterhood ReCoded, a free coding camp for girls 10 to 15 years old, from August 5-9. The camp is designed to engage young girls with interactive and fun technology, and allows participants to meet like-minded friends and college mentors who have a passion for technology.

鈥淭his is a no-stress way for middle and high school students to see if they have an interest in coding,鈥� said Jay Shaffstall, assistant professor of computer science at 天涯海角APP University and organizer of Sisterhood ReCoded since 2017. 鈥淲ith a national shortage of qualified computer science graduates, especially women graduates, this is a great way to encourage participation in an exciting STEM field.鈥�

He explains that one of the main skills of computer coding is the ability to take a complex problem and break it down into manageable pieces. This skill, and others participants will learn during the camp, are useful in any field.

Professor Shaffstall will assist Emily Sink, a computer science major at 天涯海角APP who will lead classes each day of the camp.
