What is Girls Who Code? 
Girls Who Code is a nationwide organization dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology through after-school clubs, summer immersion programs, and college programs.
What Are We Doing in Maine?
Project>Login, a signature program of Educate Maine, is Maine's Community Partner for Girls Who Code. Community Partners can access resources and grant opportunities and help set up new clubs from Girls Who Code.
In the Summer of 2021, Project>Login piloted a week-long, half-day Girls Who Code summer camp for educators and student ambassadors to help them kick-start clubs at their schools. Learn more about our summer camp pilot here.
In 2026, P>L is expanding the reach of Girls Who Code Summer camps to include an overnight experience at Husson University in Bangor as well as offering a day camp in Portland. If you're interested in helping us grow this program, please consider sponsoring, volunteering or becoming a Girls Who Code Host Site.
Husson University (Overnight): July 26-31 *(rising 6-12th grade middle school and high school students) *Arrival at 5PM on Sunday evening.
