Today we celebrate freedom. Juneteenth marks the day that freedom became real, and every year we carry that legacy forward.

At Black Girls Code, freedom looks like a young builder writing her own future in code, on her own terms. It looks like Black joy, Black brilliance, and the right to imagine something the world has never seen.

To every girl building that future, and to everyone who loves and believes in her, happy Juneteenth. 🧡

The summer just got brighter. ☀️ Black Girls Code Summer Camp 2026 season kicks off tomorrow, and we wanted to look back before we look ahead.

Swipe through summers past and watch it all come back: the very first lines of code, the demo-day nerves, the apps nobody had ever built before, and the friendships that lasted long after camp ended. Every girl in these photos walked in curious and walked out a creator.

Tomorrow a brand new season begins, and all summer long a fresh wave of girls will sit down to build things the world has never seen. We'll be sharing every win and every breakthrough along the way.

We're coding the future, one bold, brilliant girl at a time. Follow along with us all season.

Black Girls Code is bringing an animation workshop to the 2nd Annual BLK Future Fest + Basketball Combine: a full day for students and families to build, create, and connect.

In our workshop, learners discover how code turns a drawing into motion, hands-on, creative, and exactly the kind of STEAM experience that shows girls tech is a space where they belong.

The festival also features an NBA-style basketball combine (3x3 with a cash prize 👀), Black-owned vendors, and keynote speakers, something for the whole family.
