Girls Who Code, the New York City-based nonprofit that teaches computer science to high school girls, has a secret weapon: Bryn Mawr College‘s Computer Science department.
For the second year in a row, Girls Who Code has used software developed at Bryn Mawr, a liberal arts women’s college on the Main Line, to teach its students subjects like robotics and animation, according to a story on Bryn Mawr’s website. Ashley Gavin, a Bryn Mawr alumna, developed Girls Who Code’s curriculum.
Since 2006, Bryn Mawr College, in partnership with Georgia Tech, has run the National Science Foundation-backed Institute for Personal Robots in Education, developing materials to teach computer science at various levels. The schools have developed textbooks, low-cost robots and software as part of the effort.
