Our Programs

Girls Who Code

Project Login is a proud Girls Who Code Community Partner in Maine, working to expand access to computer science education for students across the state. We partner with schools, libraries, nonprofits, and businesses to bring Girls Who Code programming to communities statewide through clubs during the academic year and day and residential summer camps hosted with colleges and universities.

Our programs help students build computer science skills, confidence, and community while exploring how technology connects to their lives and future goals.

Who It's For

Girls Who Code is open to all students. No prior experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to try something new.

While the program focuses on addressing the gender gap in technology, we intentionally create spaces that highlight the history and contributions of women in computing, uplift voices that have been underrepresented in tech, and build a welcoming community for every student to explore. Students of all identities, backgrounds, and experiences are encouraged to participate. Our goal is to ensure that everyone can see themselves in computer science. 

What Students Experience

Our programs are hands-on, collaborative, and connected to the real world.

Students will:

  • Learn foundational coding and computational thinking skills

  • Build creative, project-based solutions

  • Explore real-world applications of technology

  • Connect with peers, mentors, and industry professionals

  • Grow confidence in their ability to learn and use technology

We use computer science as a tool for exploration and empowerment, helping students apply it to their own passions, interests, and future goals.

STEM Workforce Ready 2030

Educate Maine partners with the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance in Workforce Ready. Workforce Ready is creating a network of teacher leaders committed to increasing equitable access to computer science learning in rural, PreK-12 classrooms.

Computer Science Connected Learning Experience

The Computer Science Connected Learning Experience (CSCLE) is part of the Workforce Ready program and operated in partnership with the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance. Participating educators from across Maine visit businesses, industry and higher education campuses to learn about the CS skills their students will need to build Maine’s future economy. They also build relationships and networks that last years. We know that strong collaborations between Maine employers and K-12 schools create a win-win pipeline for students, educators, and industry. When businesses engage directly in computer science (CS) education and computational thinking initiatives, together we can expand access and equity.

SCRIPT

The SCRIPT — the Strategic CSforALL Resource & Implementation Planning Tool — is a framework to guide teams of district administrators, school leaders, and educators through a series of collaborative visioning, self-assessment, and goal-setting exercises to create or expand upon a computer science education implementation plan for their students.

School districts and other local education organizations are the units of change toward creating rigorous, inclusive, and sustainable K-12 computer science education. The SCRIPT supports systems-level change by addressing six key areas: (1) Leadership, (2) Teacher Capacity and Development, (3) Curriculum and Materials Selection and Refinement, (4) Partners, (5) Community, and (6) Technology Infrastructure.

What Does a Workshop Look Like?

The workshops are generally two full days with an average of five participants from each district. Teams from each district are comprised of administration (both school and district level) and educators. We recommend having building admin, district admin, teachers, librarians/media specialists, tech directors or integrators, counselors, art teachers, curriculum leaders, and others involved on your team.

Upcoming Workshops

1-day and 2-day SCRIPT Workshops are now being scheduled for 2025-26. If you would like one to happen in your area, please fill out our interest form.

CS Summer of Fun

Since 2017, Educate Maine has been offering teachers CS professional development. The first two years, we referred to it as TeacherCon or the Summer Institute. In 2019, we changed the name to the CS Summer of Fun to reflect a strong, week-long commitment to fun computer science professional learning. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we pivoted to a virtual format. In 2024, the CS Summer of Fun became a signature event under the STEM Workforce Ready 2030 project, funded by the Harold Alfond Foundation.
