Semester-Long Projects (SLP) is a great program to enrich coding skills in a group setting. Participants are formed into groups of similar interests. Each group is led by a mentor to build a unique coding project. SLP includes workshops like git, inclusive design, and other topics to aid the project's completion. At the end of the semester, the groups come together for sheCode's SLP Demo Day to showcase their project!

We congratulate every member and team lead on finishing SLP of 2025!

Thank you for your 10 weeks of teamwork and dedication! You have accomplished these past 10 weeks and should be proud of all the work you have done. We hope that SLP has encouraged you to explore more about Computer Science and inspires you to continue pursuing projects outside of class. We hope you had fun and learned a lot! sheCodes and sheBoard are so proud of you and we can’t wait to see where you will go from here.
-Kenia Velasco (she/her) sheCodes Internal Vice President 2025-2026
