GOOGLE/STEM GIRL CODE PROJECT
YWCA-OC teamed up with Google and Los Alisos Middle School to create "Girl Code," an innovative program that teaches young girls about coding and computer programming by engaging them in interesting science activities both during class time and after school. The students use a coding curriculum to develop a basic working knowledge and gain basic skills in a variety of STEM fields that will motivate them to pursue careers in the technology fields. 

Brian Jones, Los Alisos Middle School Teacher, advises a group of students to teach them more about STEM and Coding. He recently gave a coding assignment where the students created an animation video that focuses on human impacts on the Earth. This week we are featuring the work of Liann.

America’s Promise Alliance has reached out to YWCA USA to offer an exciting opportunity available for any and all students within the extended YWCA network. The Power of Youth Challenge launched an initiative on Youth Leading Racial Healing, which will provide $250 mini-grants to U.S.-based projects led by young people ages 13-19.

Applications will remain open until April 30 and the proposed projects are required to be COVID-safe while also focusing on promoting racial equity and addressing systemic racism.
