Our Purpose
MIT CodeIt empowers middle school girl and nonbinary students and builds their self-confidence as problem solvers.
Our team of dedicated MIT students serves as mentors and role models for our students
as we introduce them to computer science.
Our Values

Challenge
We learn and grow by pushing our limits as problem solvers. We might not know all the answers right now, but we have the resources to figure them out!

Curiosity
Those who never stop asking questions never stop learning. We value the art of exploring and seeking answers to our own questions.

Collaboration
Our most valuable resource is each other. By working together and answering each other's questions, we can build bigger and better things.
Program Details
Who: Female and nonbinary students in grades 6 to 8 with little to no programming experience.
When: Wednesdays (7-8:30PM ET) & Sundays (2:30-3:30PM ET)
What: Our online program runs for 6 weeks, with 2 sessions hosted per week. During the first four weeks, students will learn basic programming concepts by completing Scratch codelabs. During the last two weeks, students will create their very own Scratch final projects and present them at the project showcase.
Where: Due to COVID-19, CodeIt will be hosting a virtual program over Zoom.
