TechGirls: My Day with the next generation of innovators

For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege to host TechGirls -- an international exchange program for girls from the Middle East and North Africa -- at AT&T’s office in DC for a day of job-shadowing.

TechGirls focuses on hands-on skills development in fields such as programming, mobile application building, web design, and more for girls between ages 15 and 17.

It’s an initiative of the US Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by Legacy International.
