OBSESSED! She did SO good!

I taught young girls to code (founder of nonprofit Girls Code Lincoln, based in Nebraska USA) for the past few years - I love this! A few resources that you may be interested in sharing with her, age appropriate for her:

Youtube series that we did where our students interviewed women in STEM - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-32uv45Ln4VJGhVr_jr6...

Podcast series where we talked about historical women in STEM + a current woman in STEM - we recommended people listen to this in the car when their kids are there. https://girlscodelincoln.buzzsprout.com/

My email if you need anything at all, or would like further resources for your daughter. aakriti@TheNonprofiting.Org / info@GirlsCodeLincoln.org

TED talk that I did about HOW to get your daughter interested in STEM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guoLTuW8AX4&t=10s

Additionally, Pixar has a really good and robust coding lesson - called Pixar in a Box - https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/pixar Not sure if this is quite the right aged resource for her, but might be nice for you to have in your back pocket.

Happy to help with pointing you to any resources you may need to keep her engaged!

This is for very gifted 7 year olds; I bookmarked it : - ) Thanks! Do you have any unicorn-themed and free recommendations for girls that age?
