Black Girls CODE Detroit Presents: Learn to Code a Robot with SmartGurlz!

May 18, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm






During this workshop, participants will explore coding fundamentals with Google Blockly and SmartGurlz robots and dolls. Our Tech Divas will learn about why coding is important and then jump into action by learning to code robots – step-by-step. In this introductory course,  girls will work together in teams, think analytically, design, play, and code in real-time. They will also have loads of fun making robot dances, games, and videos. 


All BGC events are geared towards introducing participants to the technological universe and encouraging them to pursue careers as Tech Creators and Entrepreneurs. This event is intended for girls ages 7-12.
