Description: WHO RUNS THE WORLD? GIRLS! There’s so much to explore in the world of computers and technology. Let your creativity flow, explore and discover even more with our Intro to STEMinism program.

Maydm defines STEMinism as the crossroad of feminism and STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) calling for gender and racial equity in STEM. Because we believe that every student has ideas that can revolutionize their communities and empower themselves, but too many are discouraged from pursuing STEM fields.

In our newly extended six week program, you will explore various topics in STEM such as robotics, game development, and VR. You will even get a chance to create your own robotic pet in our robot petting zoo!

Work side by side with mentors in the STEM fields, build your resume, gain skills, show off your work and creativity and build relationships that can last a lifetime.

This program will be offered at both Edgewood College and Madison College Truax.

Fecha: lunes 20 de junio – viernes 29 de julio

Hora: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm

Ubicación: Edgewood College y Madison College Truax

¿QUIÉN CORRE EL MUNDO? ¡LAS CHICAS! Hay mucho por explorar en el mundo de las computadoras y la tecnología. Deja salir toda tu creatividad. Explora y descubre tus capacidades tecnológicas con nuestro programa de Introducción a STEMinism.

Maydm define STEMinism como la integración del feminismo en el mundo de STEM (Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas, por su siglas en Inglés) que exige equidad de género y racial en STEM. Porque creemos que todos los estudiantes tienen ideas que pueden revolucionar sus comunidades y empoderarse a sí mismos, pero muchos se sienten desalentados a seguir los campos de STEM.

En nuestro programa de seis semanas recientemente ampliado, explorará varios temas en STEM, como robótica, desarrollo de juegos y realidad virtual. ¡Incluso tendrás la oportunidad de crear tu propia mascota robótica en nuestro zoológico de mascotas!

Trabaje codo a codo con mentores en los campos STEM, desarrolle su currículum, adquiera habilidades, muestre su trabajo y creatividad y construya relaciones que pueden durar toda la vida.

Este programa se ofrecerá tanto en Edgewood College como en Madison College Truax.
