Mission: TechChangers is a 501c3 focused on creating a diverse community of youth makers, technologists, leaders, and innovators by providing all students, especially underrepresented and socioeconomically challenged groups with opportunities to discover and foster their passion for STEM and computing.
Programs:
Physical Computing <101>
4th & 5th Graders - Girls and Boys! Join Tech Changers as we launch a new course that will take you on a journey through the world of computers. From computer dissections to logic gates, learn what it takes to get your code through a computer. Study computer anatomy and explore the circulatory systems of computer code as you study what happens to your code as it is transformed from a simple algorithm to pulsing binary and circuitry.

APL STEM Girl Power! Tech Changers always has a great time supporting APL STEM Girl Power! Past session include computing activities like, Let's Get Physical with micro:bits and sewable circuits. These programs empower girls to write code to make a Rocks Paper Scissors game and explore circuity.
Think Like a Programmer: Tech Changers supports local Girl Scouts to complete requirements for the Think Like a Programmer Journey. This 2 hour program covers many basic computer science topics like algorithms, pseudocode, loops, and functions. Sessions are fun and engaging and incorporate both unplugged and computer based activities via code.org! Contact Lisa Wenzel: lisa@techchangers.org for more info!
