The Tech Savvy Girls project lead by Lucie deLaBruere and Betsy Calhoun began in 2001 as part of Lucie's capstone project for a Masters of Science in Internet Engineering from Marlboro College Graduate and Professional Studies. The project was supported by the Vermont Institutes Equity Division for 5 years and continues through the commitment of a network of amazing educators, student leaders, volunteers, mentors, and community members committed to serving Vermont girls. Through their efforts Middle School Girls Summer Camps, Summer Leadership Institutes for High School Girls, Professional Development for Teachers, Cool Career Field Trips, Power Lunch with Women in Tech have contributed to an increase in girls participating in high-level activities and enrolling in IT courses at Vermont schools, Technical Centers, and colleges. We've made a difference but our work is not done.
