My Nonprofit Reviews

A big challenge faced by women in tech is finding relatable role models. Getmagic addresses this by pairing middle/high school girls with women professionals in STEM and allowing 1:1 project based mentorship. I am a software professional with over 30 years in tech and found my first year mentoring with Getmagic extremely satisfying. I was fortunate to work with two 9th graders. Over a period of 10 weeks, we worked 1:1 building an Andriod App with one and a simple website with another. While working on the tech projects of their choosing, the mentees also pick up other skills - how to problem solve, how to do research, how to give presentations - all valuable skills that would be required in their professional lives. GetMagic is a win-win for both mentees and mentors and I wish I had found it sooner.
