Through our GirlsBuild project, our team reached out to and served a total of 11 groups of girls and non-binary individuals during our Hackathon. We taught these students how to use scratch and offered a workshop on apps lab via code.org, all online and for free. We provided resources for students to learn more about coding to expand their knowledge and skills and also granted them an outlet for creativity to collaborate with their friends. This event was for girls and non-binary people in STEM and we reached this target audience through thorough publicity and reaching out to those in our community to start change there, rather than making it a widespread event. Through our hackathon event, we guided and introduced new students to computer science in easy and accessible ways, thus in the future the students we mentored will help others and also have the ability to take initiative and expand their knowledge. We made long term outcomes through bringing attention to a community in computer science that isn’t significantly acknowledged on a day to day basis. This event will push the students in our community to work with their peers to bring more attention to this issue and also promote the idea that you do not have to be a specific person or have specific knowledge to create something in computer science, as anyone can learn how to code! At Granada, we brought together a small community of girls and non-binary individuals, both marginalized groups, in CS and pushed them to work together to show that you do not need previous knowledge to learn and complete a successful project. Our groups created game projects that were completed in a designated amount of time and pushed them to learn how to adapt when things go wrong or under pressure. Our participants did an amazing job and have learned more about coding and so much more!
