Lesson Plans & Curriculum
Hackergal Hub is a free online learning portal which provides educational resources, curriculum, and skill-building projects. Hackergal Hub invites students to engage with technology and build their digital competencies, while educators discover new, exciting ways to bring coding into the classroom.
Bring coding education to life with Hackergal Hub!
Our curriculum uses an interdisciplinary, project-based approach that inspires girls to learn by doing – collaborating with others, making mistakes, solving bugs, and building their confidence. Step-by-step instructional videos guide students through each lesson, so no coding experience is needed to learn and teach. Plus, all lessons are mapped onto the existing provincial curriculum, so it’s easy to integrate into the classroom!
