Code at Home

Girls Who Code is making CS educational activities available for download free of charge, to anyone who wants to access them!

They will release activities weekly — some online, some offline, of varying levels of difficulty—over the course of the next few months. Each activity will include a feature of a woman in tech who pioneered innovative technology.
