Kode With Klossy, Powered by Barnard

Barnard is thrilled to partner with the Kode with Klossy team on a summer commuter program for high-school girls: Kode with Klossy Powered by Barnard will be offered from Sunday, July 18 to Friday, August 6, 2021. The three-week experience will teach web development and design, alongside a design-thinking approach, and students will walk away having collaborated on a final project that will demonstrate all they’ve learned. More importantly, they will walk away with the confidence and a community to support the ongoing pursuit of their passions in a technology-driven world. 

During this program, participants will experience an expanded version of Kode with Klossy's distinguished coding curriculum paired with Barnard's Pre-college program workshops and activities, so they get a taste of the college experience and feel better equipped to navigate the college application process and college life.

Kode With Klossy Powered By Barnard fits a semester’s worth of learning into three short weeks - from front-end to back-end engineering concepts required to build a website.  The program empowers scholars to use code to express their creativity through problem solving and collaboration as well as to use their newfound skills to create final projects focused on a social justice project. After learning the key concepts of HTML, CSS, and Javascript combined with key elements of design, students will spend the last few days working collaboratively in small project groups to develop their final projects.  In addition to the lessons and labs focused on curriculum learning, students will also engage in a series on the culture of technology, get a chance to hear from inspirational women in technology as part of a speaker series, and take some “brain breaks” that range from yoga & meditation to dance and other games. Each day concludes with a closing gratitude circle that supports the building of a strong community and the program culminates in a demo day where students showcase their projects.

Kode With Klossy Powered by Barnard is a Commuter Program, where we welcome students on-campus from the NYC metropolitan area who are able to commute to campus each day for the duration of the three week program. By participating in a Pre-College Commuter Program students are allowed to be on campus during approved times for classes and program related activities and students will be acknowledging their commitment to abide by a set of rules and behavior on campus. 

Barnard has implemented many on-campus community health and safety guidelines and proactive measures to include:

• Individuals are required to carry their campus ID with them at all times while on campus
• Weekly testing requirement for Barnard staff and students 
• Increased cleaning of high touch areas and spaces 
• Sanitation stations throughout campus with hand sanitizer 
• Plexiglass has been installed at all contact points (Dining, Offices, Building front desks)
• The College will provide a face mask to all students an as-needed basis
• Improvements have been made to the College’s ventilation systems

Part of the daily schedule on select days and after Closing Circle, students can join our Program Coordinator in activities which are fun, engaging and community building. Student Life programs are designed with the intention for our students to share common interests and create meaningful bonds with each other. Learning and growing does not end in the classroom, so our Student Life model is supplemental to the classroom experience.
