My Nonprofit Reviews

I love working with Techgirlz and have been involved in this organization for the past 2 1/2 years. I've been lucky enough to work on curriculum, TA a few classes, and I led my first workshop this past week with 17 girls in the RTP area of North Carolina. The classes are put together with enough information that with a bit of prep you can stand in front of a room and be enough of an expert to get the girls interested. I also like that while the focus is on the technical, we incorporate sharing so they get up and speak about what they have done - encouraging girls to communicate and articulate what they have done is just as important as doing it. At the end of a session when they have all produced something we celebrate them all and they leave talking about their next class!
