My Nonprofit Reviews

I love working with Techgirlz! I've been working with this group off and on for about 3 years and I've enjoyed it so much. I've been able to TA a few classes, and I lead a couple of workshops every year. I've got my annual Cybersecurity session coming up in Oct and I always look forward to it. The curricula is very easy to read and interpret and leaves room for you to input your expertise, if you're familiar with a particular topic. With a little prep in advance you can confidently stand there and teach the session to this great group of middle school girls and answer their questions. I love that the sessions are not always technical as far as coding, but also cover areas where women are underrepresented and topics that are interesting. In the session I led on Audacity in RTP last month, I learned how few women music producers there are. Hopefully something in that session may have sparked someone to want to go into that arena and make a difference! I love that the girls get to work independently as well as together and present their work at the end of the session so the group can see what they've done and they can present something they're proud of. I will continue to work with this group as I can, as it's just as rewarding for us as it is for the young ladies.
