SheTHORT builds access and awareness in STE(E)M for girls in Africa.
We host workouts where at least 50% of the participants are girls in under resourced communities, where possible.
For example: We use MIT’s simple SCRATCH coding processes in a fun and engaging way.
Code and create your own tail-wagging creature with shining eyes:
Create an creature, then code it to move and glow
Advanced learners build code online.
Girls often add colour and sparkles and boys often focus on complex movements.
