ABOUT

Clements Girls in Computing is an organization dedicated to building interest in computer science, developing technical skills, and overcoming the gender gap in STEM fields. We are open to all skill and experience levels—join us!

Over the years, we've created and offered a multitude of opportunities for girls to explore the fields of STEM, especially in relation to technology. Here, we have volunteering, competitions, chances to win awards, and more. 

Clements Girls in Computing was founded in 2015 and has been sponsored ever since by the Computer Science teacher Lubna Lorena.
