Greetings from the UC San Diego student branch of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Women in Computing (WIC).
We are reaching out to you to inform you of our upcoming Girl’s STEM Fair. Our event is designed to encourage the participation of female-identifying high school and middle school students, though all students are welcome to participate.
It is a Python programming basics workshop using examples in cryptography. It will be Saturday, May 29th, from 11am to 2pm PST. Students will be able to learn how to code in Python, and then apply those skills in a fun escape room competition. We believe this workshop will be a great entry point for those students who are interested in coding but have little to no experience.
We hope this workshop will get them excited about programming, and potentially give them the starting tools to code on their own!
Students (or their parents) can sign up via a Google Form through this link: https://tinyurl.com/IEEEpythonUCSD. They will then be sent the link to the Zoom meeting where the workshop will be taking place.
