Girls Who Game (GWG) is a program developed through a partnership between Microsoft and Dell Technologies to encourage girls to become interested in STEM. Girls Who Game teaches female students about coding and computational thinking using Minecraft: Education Edition.
The mission of GWG is to engage young girls in grades four to eight through learner-driven experiences and mentorship opportunities. By building a community of learners, Girls Who Game wants to help girls build relationships and encourage them to continue to develop their technology, coding, and leadership skills.
During the month of March, the Junior Mentors in the Girls Who Game program had the opportunity to interview women who work in the STEM field. The girls then created video profiles for each of the women, to be shared with the rest of the GWG teams. The Jr Mentors learned how to conduct virtual interviews, write scripts, and create and edit videos!
