STEMHer is partnering with the Children's discovery Museum of San Jose to hold fun, interactive STEM activities for children ages 5 to 10. STEMHer will have a booth at the museum on July 15th from 1:30 to 4:30. Activities include marker chromatography and alka seltzer rockets.
STEMHer taught a Web Development workshop in Spanish at Providence Career Technical Academy for the Hispanic community of new students. We had sophomores between the ages of 15 to 16 attend our program.
The program was three days in total. The students learned about entrepreneurship, website design, how the internet works, binary conversions, and more. As the workshop progressed, the new students also become more comfortable with technology. The program was very interactive, and students enjoyed interacting with the other students and instructorr.
For the final project the students built websites for many purposes including cupcake shops, clothing stores, and makeup essentials.
STEMHer has partnered with The C.A.R.E Foundation once again for a IN-PERSON workshop on Artificial Intelligence and programming in St Kitts island on August 13th, 2022.
The workshop was taught to a group or girls ages 12 through 16 Artificial Intelligence concepts like testing and training data, neural networks, and more. The girls learned to code their own Siri robot using Scratch. Amiya, the founder and CEO of STEMHer taught this workshop in hopes of inspiring young girls to pursue careers in fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, aligning with the mission of STEMHer. The workshop ended with all of the girls receiving certificates for their hard work from Amiya and Dr. Christine Walwyn, President of the C.A.R.E Foundation.
