Made with Code

This website is to inspire girls with a coding experience, but I wouldn't keep boys away! There are three options or projects to do while having fun with coding:

1. Light up the Christmas tree at the Nation's capital (Beginner)
2. Create animations on aYeti (Beginner)
3. Snowflake design (Intermediate)
   
   If you are sold on coding, there's even more projects for you to try. It's all great fun, but that's what you would expect from Google, right? More projects will be added so you can check back. How do you like coding?
