Girls and Women in Tech
A workshop to support leaders of community outreach programs for girls and women in technology field, in their search for a unique, meaningful way to make an impact
The workshop was created as part of my Media Lab courses. I ran it 3 times with ~30 participants, and presented it at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, 2016.
In this 4 hour workshop participants are exposed to some of the issues programs for girls in technology face through participatory activities, information sessions and discussions. It focuses on the common challenges and common strategies that programs face, and use the experiences of 14 outreach programs I reviewed in the fall of 2015 as examples.
It creates a space for the participants to connect with each other, learn from others and spend some time thinking.
The workshop design and the review of common challenges and strategies is available here, and are free to use under the creative commons license.
