Girls Who Code at the U of U

Realms recently added a Girls Who Code club to our campus and today we had the opportunity to see the founder, Reshma Saujani, speak at Kingsbury Hall. She is a passionate speaker and had a great message to share about raising our girls to be brave. This is something Realms strongly believes in, not just for our girls, but for all of our students. Realms programming is about getting our kids to take risks. It is important for our students to have the opportunity to fail while the stakes are relatively low. Our goal is to challenge our students’ physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities through appropriate risk-taking. This is most obvious in our outdoor program, but applies to our on campus work as well. We encourage our students to reach beyond what is comfortable; to write a novel, to direct a play, to create something unique.
