As a founding member of the Maker Education Initiative, Intel pioneered a partnership between TechShop and YWCA's TechGYRLS. The overarching goal of YWCA's TechGYRLS program is to empower girls with the technical skills and confidence necessary to explore the possibilities within STEM careers. For the past 7 years, TechGYRLS operated a typical STEM after-school program and maintained a 20-25% drop out rate as the year progressed. With Intel's help, TechGYRLS joined the Maker movement and experienced tremendous resultsa zero percent dropout rate in their young makers program. TechGYRLS will now be expanding their makers program to reach 700 girls next year.Subscribe now to Intel on YouTube: http://bit.ly/1BZDtpf
