Review for Getmagic Corporation, San Jose, CA, USA
This was my first year with MAGIC, and it was one of the most fulfilling and rewarding mentoring experiences I’ve ever had.
MAGIC fills a real need: in spite of efforts to encourage women to pursue STEM careers, high-school girls are still missing the resources and role models they need to spark and maintain their interest in STEM fields. For example, I found out my mentee’s school tried to start a computer science class, but they could not find a qualified teacher, the girls in the class had a bad experience, and the school abandoned the effort.
Through MAGIC, girls develop their STEM skills via personalized projects that are tailored to their interests. Each mentee spend hours learning from a female role model who has a professional career in a STEM field.
Seeing the inspiring final presentations from my mentee and her peers reinforced my opinion that MAGIC is a practical and successful way to ensure the future of women in STEM.
