Community

sheCodes strives to have everyone feel that they are known and belong to our community. We advocate for inclusiveness for all students and allow everyone to be heard. sheCodes does this through our mentorship program and engaging in an inclusive community.

Outreach

We strive to empower others through outreach in our Future Women Developers (FWD) Conference and annual STEAM fair. Our community fully believes that we should be supporting the next generation of engineers and equipping them with the tools and confidence.

Growth

sheCodes understands that there is always room to learn and grow more. Whether this is technologically, personally, or professionally—we believe that we must take any opportunity to grow in all dimensions. We do this through Semester-Long Projects (SLP) during the fall and hosting workshops aimed towards professional and personal growth. Check out some of the projects here!

Mentorship Program

The mentorship program matches members in the club with a mentor. The mentor helps the mentee with class selection, internship searches, moral support, academic advice, and generally becomes a much-needed, loving guide to achieving success as a woman in CS.

Mentorship applications will open soon in the Fall. For more information for our Mentorship Program, contact our Mentorship Chair 2025: Michelle Paino through sheCodes Discord!

Future Women Developers (FWD) Conference

Once a year during Spring semester, sheCodes invites middle/high school women to participate in a day filled with interactive workshops and fun activities to expose them to computer science. The Future Women Developers (FWD) program gives young women a taste of the tremendous creativity and innovation involved in computer science, engineering, or career in science. It gives young women tangible ideas about how these fields can help change the world through practical projects.

Semester-Long Projects (SLP)

This is a great opportunity for participants to gain group experience outside of the classroom and to gain knowledge of a specified area of computer science. Mentors will have the opportunity to lead and to teach their own project to a group of 4–5 participants. SLP also includes workshops and a Demo Day that are hosted during the fall semester!

SLP 2025 Leader Applications have opened for the year. You do not need to be an expert to be an SLP Lead. Familiarity with the topic and a willingness to grow and support your peers is all it takes. Apply to be a leader. For more information about SLP, please contact our Interval Vice President: Kenia Velasco through sheCodes Discord!

Company Panels

sheCodes organizes company panels to help members learn more about companies and get insight on different fields within computer science and technology. Previosuly, we've brought in Software Engineers from: Google, Esri, BlueBeam, Target, Starbucks, ChowNow, etc.
This year, company panels and company tours will be taken care by our External Vice President: Hasti Abbasi Kenarsari. Please contact Hasti on Discord if you have any questions.

Social Events
