Newburgh Girls Code Club (NGCC) is a youth leadership development after-school program focused on educating youth – beginners and masters, alike – on coding and the career opportunities that come with STEM learning, based on the Girls Who Code curriculum. We invite all youth who identify as a girl or who prefer to learn in a female centered environment, ages 10-18, regardless of school status, to apply.  

NGCC meets Wednesdays throughout the Spring (February 5, 2020  until April 29, 2020) from 4-6 pm at the Newburgh Free Library's Grand Street branch, located at 124 Grand Street, in the city of Newburgh. There is no class on April 8, 2020.
