Description
- Overview:
- The Girls Who Build: Make Your Own Wearables workshop for high school girls is an introduction to computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering through wearable technology. The workshop, developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory, consists of two major hands-on projects in manufacturing and wearable electronics. These include 3D printing jewelry and laser cutting a purse, as well as programming LEDs to light up when walking. Participants learn the design process, 3D computer modeling, and machine shop tools, in addition to writing code and building a circuit.

This is a great resource to provide an introduction to STEM for girls. This initiative is a much need resource for providing opportunities to increase STEM interest.
Finding this resource is very timely as I was in the process of planning Makerspace activities to introduce the use of our 3D printer. I was also researching activities that would be of interest to our female students which would inpsire further interest in technology. This resource combines both ideas.
