google company tour 2019
|
Thursday, Jan 17, 2019 3:30PM - 4:30PM Googleplex, Mountain View 
|
To kick off the new year, we brought 20 high school girls and 4 mentors (Stanford undergraduate women in computer science) to visit the Google Mountain View campus. Google’s mission is “to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Since its founding, Google has made many advancements in the search engine field and is currently the most widely used search engine on the internet. Additionally, Google continues to roll out other technical products in diverse domains that have become integral parts of the lives of its several billion users.
The tour gave high school girls interested in STEM the opportunity to see first-hand what it's like to work at a tech company and interact with women pursuing computer science in college/industry. We had so much fun learning about the company's culture, history, and unique perks. |
CODE CAMP 2019

Massive thank you to the over 200 high school girls and countless mentors who helped make Code Camp 2019 a success! We were inspired by the dedication and passion we witnessed throughout the day, from programming basics in the morning to mentor-led workshops in the afternoon.
For this year's workshops, we were ecstatic to hold some old favorites, such as Artificial Intelligence and Computational Biology, as well as some new tracks, such as Engineering Makerspace and Cybersecurity. |
BITS & BYTES 2019
|
Sat, Apr 20, 2019 9:00AM - 12:00PM UC Berkeley |
For our first ever Berkeley chapter event, we hosted a workshop at the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation. 30 girls from all over Northern California learned everything from how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help maximize PacMan’s utility score to how data visualization can be an impactful medium for visual story telling. They even got to code their first blog from scratch, learning the fundamentals of Web Design in HTML & CSS.
The Berkeley team is grateful to the mentors that helped make this event a success, and looks forward to hosting more events in the future! |

Thursday, Sept 12, 2019 UC Berkeley |
Our Berkeley chapter hosted 25 students from Rudsdale High School, Rudsdale Newcomer High School, and Sojourner Truth Academy in a collaboration with Bridges, a recruitment and retention organization at UC Berkeley. The students played a sorting game where they worked in teams to sort a deck of cards as an introduction to sorting and computing principles. The activity was followed by Q&A with GTC mentors. We hope to continue working with Bridges and strengthening our relationships with schools in the Oakland community!
