Week 4 (The Final Week!)

Today was our last workshop with the girls! We decided to try something more hands on but still related to technology. We showed the girls how to use Makey Makeys! We explained a little bit of conductivity and circuits and how Makey Makeys work. They had a lot of fun working in pairs as they tried to play some of their favorite computer games using Makey Makey controllers (like Run or Tetris) and some even tried to play a Scratch Keyboard with Makey Makeys. When the girls were done they tried out CodeMonkey, more MadeWithCode, or perfected their blogs. We're really going to miss these sweet little girls: they're all so smart and we hope that we opened their eyes to the STEM areas. When we asked them if they liked the workshops better because there were no boys they didn't say anything but all smiled: I'm glad that by choosing CoderGALS we could create a safer environment for them to explore and learn.
