An in-person one-day coding workshop for middle school girls,
to inspire the next generation of women in STEM.

ABOUT

cypHER 2025 will be held on March 22, 2025. Check back soon to register! cypHER is a full-day web development workshop for middle school girls that aims to increase girls’ exposure to computer science. It is entirely run and organized by a team of female High Technology High School students. During the event, participants will learn HTML, CSS, and/or Javascript fundamentals in the morning; in the afternoon, participants will apply these skills to create their own websites, program/drive VEX robots, or learn circuitry and Arduino fundamentals. Students will meet and learn from female mentors in STEM, hear exciting talks from speakers, and have the opportunity to win exciting prizes for their projects!
