For Girls in Grades 5th - 12th
Program Overview:
Keystone Science School’s Girls in STEM: Tech Retreat focuses on addressing challenges experienced by females entering STEM careers. Specifically, participants will work with female mentors as they learn about how careers in technology incorporate components of Computer Sciences, Information Systems and Web Development and Design. The participants will use technology to solve community challenges by creating tech based prototypes that utilize a variety of applied technologies. As participants work through the engineering design process they will also incorporate entrepreneurial skills by bringing their creations to the ‘market’ and using feedback from the audience to make revisions to their prototypes.
A key element of the program is a collaboration with the Breckenridge Film Festival. On Saturday, November 5th Breckenridge Film Festival will be hosting the film Code: Debugging the Gender Gap for the participants of the Girl in STEM program and the greater community. Following the film, a breakout discussion will be facilitated centered around how the community can collaborate to create a more inclusive STEM workforce.
