Tech Square Invites Young Women in STEM for an Interactive Workshop
Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club and AXR Edge teamed up with 100 Girls of Code on a late Saturday morning to host an exclusive hands-on gaming experience at The Clubhouse.
Presented by AXR LABS, this interactive workshop welcomed female students from across Georgia and Florida to join in on a one-of-a-kind esports activation, filled with in-person gaming and informational sessions.
Aimed at achieving gender parity in STEM fields, 100 Girls of Code works diligently to invest in women across the nation by immersing them in coding and computer engineering at a young age. The fun, yet educational, day included several presentations and demos centered around gaming, esports production, the esports industry, research and app development, and more!
Attendees weren’t the only ones learning that day. We not only uncovered that many of the young women, ages eight to 16, were interested in esports, but that they have also blended the world of STEM with other facets of their lives. For instance, these inspiring young women have learned how to integrate coding into their other passions, such as cooking and fashion design! We also discovered their favorite social media platforms:
The event flew by quickly, but in those two short hours the young lives of nearly 50 women were enhanced with knowledge and tools that will only further their passions and careers in the future.
