BadgerBOTS is hosting an event for local girls and Girl Scouts which will introduce them to the fundamentals of computer coding and some of the possible ways they can use code to be creative and solve problems. We would love to have female role models present at this event to share their story; why they use code and how they got to where they are now. Our goal to to host an event which is educational, empowering and fun! Volunteers will have the opportunity to talk with small groups of girls and also help them to work through the day's activities.
