The camp provides a culturally relevant and inclusive environment with mentorship from women in tech, focusing on empowering Black girls to become innovators and leaders in STEM.
Black Girls Code Summer Camp offers an immersive, week-long experience where girls ages 10-17 learn game design and coding skills. Through a partnership with Endless Access, campers delve into the world of professional game development, understanding how art, sound, storytelling, and mechanics combine to create engaging player experiences. Participants gain hands-on coding instruction, using real industry tools to design their own game assets, including sound effects, narrative elements, skill trees, and gameplay loops. The curriculum also emphasizes teamwork, leadership, creative problem-solving, and presentation skills, culminating in a capstone game project that campers build themselves. The camp aims to inspire and empower girls to see themselves as future engineers, designers, and producers in the tech industry.
A typical day includes arrival and breakfast, an icebreaker activity, two hands-on coding sessions focused on game design, lunch and social time, and a guest speaker or mentor session, concluding with a daily survey and wrap-up.
This camp is best for girls aged 10-17 who are interested in game design, coding, and exploring a future in technology, whether they are new to coding or have some prior experience.
