About HTHS cypHER

The countdown to cypHER 2027, which will be held on April 17th, 2027 has started!
HTHS cypHER is a full-day set of workshops for middle school girls that aims to increase their exposure to coding and robotics. It is entirely run and organized by a team of female members of the High Technology High School Robotics & Coding Club. During the morning, participants will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, Javascript, and/or Python. In the afternoon, participants will apply these skills to create their own websites, program and drive VEX robots, or learn the basics of circuitry and Arduino. Students will meet and learn from female mentors in STEM, hear exciting talks from speakers, and have the opportunity present their hard work and win exciting prizes!
