HAMILTON, Ohio — A partnership between Miami University and iSpace offers free coding education to girls across the Tri-State, aiming to build essential computer science skills through hands-on learning and mentorship.
The 10-week program serves girls in sixth through 12th grades, providing them with foundational coding knowledge and exposure to potential career paths in technology.
Eighth-grader Roe Villalobos discovered the program through her school's morning announcements at Ross Middle School and decided to give it a try.
"I heard it over the school announcements like last year, and I was like, 'hey, that sounds kind of cool, I want to join, '" Villalobos said. "And then I just kind of asked my mom."
