Tech-Girl Monthly: October
I was not always a tech activist. In fact, I just really like tech and I worked in tech, but I didn’t see a need to “fix” anything or advocate for change. That was until I went to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference and I learned about a very disturbing trend in computer science education and technology careers. It turned out that when I was in college was the height of women studying computer science – 37%. In 2010, the year I went to that conference, women represented just 18% of computer science graduates!

Girls' Geek Day - December 9, 2023
Girls' Geek Days are all about sparking elementary school-aged girls' interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) by providing a fun, collaborative, hands-on environment to learn new skills and helping them connect to other STEM programs in the community. Participants will have the option to choose 3 different hands-on STEM activity sessions to join throughout the morning.
The event is open to girls in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Every participant must be accompanied by a parent and/or guardian to registration. For girls who are currently in 3rd grade or younger, a parent or guardian must remain on site during the event. The event is free, but registration is required. |
