Our first event, the Girls Belong in Tech Virtual Summer camp was hosted on July 20th and was a huge success! We were fortunate to have about 200 girls join us for 2 hours filled with games, presentations and guest speakers! The girls learned a ton of new information about careers in the tech field and heard a lot of advice from current female leaders in the technology field.
