Teaching Coding and Engineering in an Inclusive, Welcoming Environment
Boolean Girl, a 501c3 nonprofit founded in 2014, serves underrepresented youth, including girls and students from low-income households to code, build, invent and animate. We provide girls-only and co-ed classes, camps, and online education.

Coding & Engineering Classes for Kids
Saturdays this Fall!
Is your elementary or middle-schooler interested in learning more about coding? We provide multi-level classes for students in grades 3-8 Saturday mornings in Arlington, VA, and Montgomery County, MD. No experience or equipment is necessary.
In Maryland, thanks to the Montgomery County Community Foundation, tuition for Clubhouse is free to students on free or reduced lunch. All students may join the program, but please take the option to donate to Boolean Girl so we can continue offering programming that is accessible to all children.
In Virginia, we offer a free one-day class for new students and Girl Scouts. Full 3-4-week sessions are $25 for the full session.
By teaching girls, under-represented groups and low-income kids how to code and build engineering projects, we are reversing the trend and diversifying the industries of tomorrow.
Scratch is a free platform developed by MIT to help children learn to code. We have been using Scratch to help teach kids how to code for many years. With Scratch, students can code their own interactive stories, animations, and games. In our Camps and Clubhouses, students learn to be creative and think strategically while troubleshooting problems and working collaboratively with their peers. We also work with educators to integrate coding with Scratch and other programs into courses including science, math, and more.
Most of all, kids love Scratch! Hear it right from them in our video.
