Growth Mindset
As we start off the new year it's fun to think about how malleable our brains are and the great potential for learning that we all share.
Code is something anyone can learn, play, and create with. It's important for kids to know code is not just for certain types of students - it's for all types of students. We are big fans of Carol Dweck's research here at Vidcode. Go growth mindset!

Monday Dev meetings
Another reason to code! You get to work with your girlfriends and make cool projects!! During our Monday developer meetings we go over new additions to the website by looking over our code "home" base (the area where we store all of our collective code that makes up the Vidcode website). It's a team process and super collaborative.
On the left you can see our Github, this is where we store all of our code. We'll teach you more about that later!
Be the first!
Murial Siebert was the first woman to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. Read her inspiring story here: NYTimes
Both code and finance are powerful forces in our world. We need more female voices in both! Also, there are many programmers who work at trading desks for investments firms, like one of our co-founders Melissa!! She wrote algorithms at a hedge fund trading desk before she started Vidcode.
Karlie Kloss + code!
"It's not as hard as I expected," says Kloss. "Being able to speak and read this language is like a superpower."
It's snowing!
Vidcode Holidays!
We are gearing up to send out our special holiday filters package!! Cant wait to deliver it to the lucky people who will get the surprise delivery because someone who thought of them clicked here!

MoMa acquires 5 DIY kits to their permanent collection.
"While all five might be small in scale, their significance for contemporary design – and the world at large – knows little bounds," said Antonelli in a post on MoMA’s blog.
