Tech Girls Rock Workshop

Last week we had the privilege of hosting the Tech Girls Rock workshop for the Boys and Girls Club of America at the West Side Club and I am happy to report that it was a success.  We had 170 girls aged 9-16 attend which is the biggest attendance of any Tech Rock Girls Workshop to date.

Girls came from all of the clubs in the Twin Cities to empower girls to explore a future in technology. With the Boys and Girls Club of America and our partnership with CA Technologies girls were able to cultivate an interest in information technology, tech-related educational opportunities and careers.

The day began with registration and then girls were split into groups to work in specific workshops geared towards this mission.  The workshops included a session on career exploration, code breaking, a scavenger hunt, and several arts and crafts.

Thank you to our partners as well as the clubs in the Twin Cities for making this event such a huge success and a special thank you to Mr. Hardeman, the Branch Director, and Leah Krieble, the former Program Director for allowing your club to host this event and organizing all of the day's activities.
