ATTENTION 6th GRADE GIRLS:


The University of Pittsburgh's Society of Women Engineers would like to invite your 6th, 7th, and 8th grade female students to SWE++. SWE++ is a 7 week course designed to teach the basics of the Python coding language, in the course your student can expect to interact with other science, technology, engineering, and math focused middle school girls, learn coding concepts, and implement those concepts into fun activities. No prior coding or Python knowledge is required, as the program will build up from the beginning concepts of computer science into more challenging and engaging topics.

SWE++ starts on September 18th and will be every Sunday from 10am - 12pm until October 30th. September 18th and September 25th will be hosted virtually through Zoom and the remaining weeks will be in-person on Pitt's campus. Please read more about the program on the Eventbrite sign up here: SWE++ Sign-up Link Click Here

*** A limited number of seats are available for SWE++ on a first come, first served basis. Depending on certain conditions more students may be accepted.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at [email protected]

Sincerely,

Maggie Killmeyer
PittSWE SWE++ and Computer Day Chair
