“Girls Who Code” After School Club to Kick Off a New Semester

Rock Valley College will be celebrating the “Girls Who Code” after school club on Wednesday, September 26, 2018 from 4 - 6 p.m. by wearing new club t-shirts and taking group photos. 

Event is not open to the public but we welcome media to attend. The event will be held in the Woodward Technology Center (WTC) Room 1110, on RVC's main campus, 3301 North Mulford Road, Rockford.

Rock Valley College is the first Community College in Illinois to host an Official “Girls Who Code” after school club. In 2017, there were 40,000 members in the United States.


The community service theme project chosen this semester is "Kids Volunteer Website/App". Websites and mobile apps will be created to allow youth in the Rockford region access to volunteer opportunities posted by area non-profits, businesses, and churches.
