The 10-something girl with a cat ear headband sits at a computer desk at DePaul University’s downtown campus. Two friends of hers work side by side.
It’s Saturday morning and every Saturday, Nancy and her friends Isa and Marissa attend the Girls Who Code club with 14 other young girls and six volunteer instructors and mentors. They log into the computers by using a special account created by the university and they start coding with Scratch, a free programming language designed especially for ages 8 to 16.
