GIT.Connect Registration | February 22, 2023

Girls in Technology (GIT) is led by a committee of women volunteers who are dedicated to initiating programs to excite, inspire and create awareness for girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

Our vision is to significantly increase the number of girls who pursue STEM education and ultimately join the ranks of other successful women in STEM careers.

Our mission is to engage and inspire girls in grades 6 through 12 in the D.C. Metro Region, especially underserved girls, to enable them to envision a path for education and career opportunities in STEM. Our programs will offer successful women role models, targeted education, endearing support and affinity. We will hold ourselves accountable to focus on GIT girls-first and foster diversity and inclusion (and belonging).

GIT.Connect Program
The GIT.Connect Program supplements other GIT programming to help expand exposure to STEM topics of interest in more depth than other GIT programs may allow. The GIT.Connect Program focus is on GITgirls in grades 6-12 and Alumnae. GITgirl members attend sessions, each lasting up to two hours. The agenda typically includes networking, relevant topics and interactive exchanges between participants and presenters or STEM experiences.
 

GIT.Connect Program Schedule

This workshop, “She Who Tells the Story” is designed to empower girls to use their voices by creating the stories that matter to them—and putting female-powered leadership at the center of our larger stories.   

Blending STEM, story and creativity, Robin Stevens Payes, author of the Find Me in the Time Before, the newest adventure in the Edge of Yesterday teen time-travel book series, is partnering with Girls in Technology and Women in Technology to offer high-school girls a unique opportunity for creative collaboration, self-expression and publication.    

Based on the Edge of Yesterday book series and Robin’s popular 5-part program, “EOY Media Girls- Engage!” this 1.5-hour mini-workshop, author talk and book launch event, “She Who Tells the Story”, will give high school girls a hands-on opportunity to find their voices, to tell their story in ways that integrate STEM, history and creativity to explore their own STEM and STEAM futures.
