Code Savvy

3 weeks (and one day!) until Innovate For Good: AI Builders Day. ⏳

If you've been meaning to sign up, now's the time — spots are filling up!

On June 27, students ages 8–18 will spend a Saturday at The Wood at Zanewood Recreation Center in Brooklyn Park doing something pretty cool: using micro:bits and AI to solve real problems that matter to their community. No experience necessary. Just show up ready to build.

It's free. It's hands-on. And it's happening this month.
📅 June 27, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM

It's a great way to keep kids engaged, learning, and creating all summer long.

Since last fall, 7 Girls Who Code Clubs have launched across Minnesota through our partnership with Girls Who Code! 🎉

Together, those Clubs have already connected 38 girls with computer science learning opportunities, mentorship, and community across the state.

What starts as one Club can become a space where students build confidence, explore technology, and discover that they belong in computer science.

Want to bring a Club to your school or community? Girls Who Code Clubs are:
✔️ Free for grades 3–12
✔️ Flexible and beginner-friendly
✔️ Supported with curriculum and facilitator resources
✔️ Designed to help students grow their skills and confidence

We’re proud to keep expanding access to inclusive computer science opportunities in Minnesota 💜
