Our Podgorica Girls Who Code contract!!! #GIRLPOWER 
schoology.com - highly recommended online learning management system! We launched our first Girls Who Code session last week, and it was so INSPIRING!!! During our meeting we got to know each other, looked at the plan for the GWC year, explored some of the activity sets, highlighted women in tech, and made our own club contract! The girls were so engaged, passionate, and uplifting!!! Many of the girls are a little intimidated and afraid of making mistakes, but they're not letting that hold them back. What I really found amazing was that although the girls are all on different levels - ages coding experience, shyness, English language - we were all together in fostering this sense of community! Just look at this contract! It's not just about doing things on your own, it's about empowering ourselves as a sisterhood! I left feeling so excited to see what they're going to build.
I also wanted to point out this really awesome online learning management system, Schoology.com. I don't have access to school or GWC tools, so I created a repository for our club on this website. After creating our class (slides, activities, dates, etc) the girls just needed to enter the access code when they created a schoology profile! It also has a ton of useful features like attendance, assignments, calendars, discussion groups, gradebook, etc. I had to be certified because I am teaching students younger than 13, but that verification was an easy process, and the service is entirely free. I definitely recommend this platform if you're teaching an online course and want a free, user-friendly platform!
I'll end this post how we end every Girls Who Code Session: See you next time and don't forget to be awesome!
