Last week, High School Science teacher, Dr. Rebecca Wood took a group of girls from Grade 8 to Micron Technology for Girls Going Tech, an introduction to the high-tech world. According to the Micron Technology Foundation website, “Careers for women in science math and technology are as varied as the women in those careers. Micron offers young women a sneak peek into the high-tech world that isn’t just for men.
Our Girls Going Tech (GGTech) program encourages 8th grade students to take advanced courses in math, science and technology, and improve their computer skills and technology usage in their pursuit of a technical career. During GGTech the girls rotate through different technical sessions with Micron female team members. The on-site event includes sessions introducing the girls to a variety of technical career options and some fun, hands-on learning activities.” To learn more, visit their website.
The girls had a great time. Thank you Micron Technology Foundation!
