Google is taking steps to increase the number of girls in STEM. Last year, they hosted a Girl Powered workshop (Leveling the STEM playing field for girls, one robot at a time) at the campus that lead to 68 middle and high school-aged girls joining robotics teams with three of the teams qualifying for state championships in California!
In August, Google will host an even larger Girl Powered (http://www.girlpowered.com/) Workshop with the support of the REC Foundation and VEX Robotics to engage girls in designing, building, and programming robots while enjoying STEM activities and fun!
