GRRL Tech is back!
And we're gearing up for the largest event yet! Tech Collective's GRRL Tech is an interactive technology expo offering female high school students an up-close and engaging look into dynamic and rewarding technology opportunities. Through industry mentoring and hands-on workshops, GRRL Tech aims to encourage STEM learning, break down gender myths and offer career insight into STEM industries. Now in it's 9th year, the 2010 GRRL (Girls Reaching Remarkable Levels) Tech Interactive Technology Expo is reaching remarkable levels itself. With the date set for March 5th 2010, we are already setting up to break record attendance levels, and we will be introducing several new and exciting STEM workshops. For the third year in a row, one driven young woman will also be eligible to receive a four-year, full scholarship to Roger Williams University, GRRL Tech's generous host and the scholarship donor!
