This BOF session brings together the expertise of Techbridge and Google, partners that have successfully collaborated and introduced girls to technology and engineering. The facilitators will provide guidance on how to organize an influential outreach event for K-12 girls, while drawing on the participants' experiences.

The session includes an Outreach Fair showcasing effective K-12 hands-on activities; participants are encouraged to bring examples of hands-on activities to share during the Fair.This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase effective K-12 hands-on activities that you have used in your outreach as well as see what else has been effectively used in various settings. Share how your group used CS Unplugged activities with K-12 students or bring a snap circuit kit and show the experiments you can do with students on the kit. Please make sure to bring enough materials to distribute to 100+ participants. Tables will be provided for you. Please RSVP to manaya@chabotspace.org if you will be participating in the fair.
