VidCode also allows teenagers to be social as they learn about code: to take videos of their life, edit code with friends, and share information with each other. In my research I found that girls&#39; interest in CS increases when they can pair programming with self expression.  The experience begins by creating a video, uploading it to the site, then editing it by scrubbing values, mixing and matching filters such as &quot;grain&quot; or &quot;blur&quot;. In the future, advanced video programming tracks will be available in algorithmic art, motion, and storytelling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexandra Diracles VidCode is a website designed to ignite girls&#39; interest in computer programming through video art.
