On February 10th from 3 to 5 PM in the Green 100s, Girls Who Code at the University of Richmond hosted an environment hackathon at CodeRVA. Free pizza was provided, along with prizes for the winning teams. The software we used was block-coding based (MIT App Inventor, Scratch, etc.). In other words, no matter what programming language background they were from, students were more than ready to tackle and raise awareness about protecting our environment.

The College Loops Challenge is an opportunity to get together with a team of Loop members and work on a project with shared goals. The theme for this year was Beyond the Classroom, for which we collaborated with María Zambrano-Dávila to bring attention to the role that personal relationships play in maintaining mental health. Specifically, we coded an Arduino Uno to power strings of LED lights when the user types in their answer of who has helped them heal, along with turn off the lights when they input something that they'd want to tell them. Thank you to Paean Luby, Na'Dyah Wynn, and Tolya Evdokimov is being part of this year's team.

Four members of Girls Who Code earned scholarships to attend CAPWIC, a computing conference held at Virginia Union University, including a variety of panels, workshops, guest speakers, sponsor tables, and swag.

We partnered with ACM to provide students with a delicious ice cream bar, classic root beer floats, an exclusive peek at our organizations' event schedules, and networking opportunities.

Girls Who Code members gathered to say their goodbyes to members studying abroad in Spring 2023 and graduating seniors with pizza and drinks.
