Our New Program Teaches Indigenous Girls How to Code
We are delighted to announce a collaboration with SONAC: “Sisterhood of Native American Coders,” a nonprofit organization founded by Elisabeth Holm.
SONAC will provide an interactive introduction to STEM for 9 – 12 year old Native American girls.
We will be hosting an online program creating projects, inviting influential guest speakers, and concluding with participation in a coding competition. The program will be engaging, challenging, and, most importantly, lots of fun.
Completion of the program makes participants eligible for a full scholarship (valued at $2,000) to Space Camp’s Robotics Camp 2021, at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL.
High school student Elisabeth Holm contacted TUS with her idea and a collaboration was sparked. TUS and SONAC are providing an online introduction to coding for 9 – 12 year old Native American girls. The program creates projects, hosts guest speakers, and concludes with participation in coding events. The program will be engaging, challenging, and, most importantly, lots of fun.
Successful completion makes students eligible for a full scholarship (valued at $2,000) to Robotics Camp at Space Camp, in the summer of 2021, at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Al.
Interested? It’s free and requires no technical experience!
Online gatherings are planned to begin July 2020
