We saw all of the lovely presentations from everyone's groups. They were completely wonderful and entertaining! We also received our diplomas and took the walk of shame (fame) and fame (shame).
Thank you all so much for following Girls Who Code in our journey this year. We can't wait to see you in 2017-18!

It has now been 30 min since the last update. We received surprise awards from the mentors such as "BOOKWORM AWARD" and "MOST LIKELY TO RESCUE AN ANIMAL". Then we played hilarious icebreaker games.
Next up, we will present! Today is our last meeting and our presentation day. There will be multiple posts/updates throughout the day! The is is the first.
So far we have three special guests as well as all of our members and volunteers. We're sad that Aimee couldn't be here today, but we hope she's thinking of us and reading the blog! The presentations haven't started yet. but they will soon. Today is our very last meeting! Next week is our presentation, and then the club is over. This week is a lot like the others. As usual, we're all working on our projects and being quiet. Today we had a highlight on Miral Kotb, the founder of iLuminate.
Here is a video about her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg1dUhVI9i0 Keep coding! First of all, we apologize for the lack of post last week. This was due to difficulties we would prefer to keep private.
On a happier note, this week the weather has been, and will continue to be, incredible. Very sunny and warm. Spirits are high! Coding is going well. As you may already know, tomorrow is our last week before the big presentation! So that means only two more posts after this one :( Have a great week ya'll! P.S. We would enjoy having more comments, if you feel up to it :) Today we had a very interesting conversation about The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. We had to read it for school, and it came up with the teachers, who had also seen it.
Great News! Our Facebook page and gmail account are finally up, and so the FACEBOOK/EMAIL page should be, too. See you there! P.S. A short note: we apologize for not posting last week, there were some problems. Today it's raining outside. Everyone feels a little bored, but we're still tackling our goals!When asked for a suggestion for this week's post, two suggestions were "Bananas" and "The Battle for More Donuts". "Bananas" was completely random, and "The Battle for More Donuts" was based off of the fact that, this week, one of our volunteers brought in munchkins! After everyone had had two, there were thirty-two munchkins remaining. Thus ensued a unique (but friendly) battle between volunteers and members for the remaining donuts. In the end the students won with a clever and convincing campaign, including graphs, tables, and equations.
Hooray! Two extra donuts for everyone! On top of this exciting news, we're planning to give each other feedback and constructive critisism for our work today. Today is extra fun, but also a little bittersweet. Aimee, the teen librarian here and also the librarian in charge of organizing our club, will be leaving soon! Her last day is Friday, and she'll be having a party then, but today we had our own private Girls Who Code goodbye. We had food and drinks, and Aimee received a giant card signed with special messages from everyone!
Even though we're sad that she's leaving, we're also happy for her. She has accepted a post for a teen librarian nearer to where she lives, so her commute will be easier. We'll miss her a lot! Congratulations, Aimee! Again, there is nothing particularly exciting to name today's post. One of our helpers is absent again today. One member is using JavaScript to build a website! |
