Make it Go: Electric Propeller Car Challenge

Maker Girls: Girls Got Game
Monday, May 10, 4:00 – 5:30 pm
4th – 8th grade
Learn about how video games are created from real women who work in the field. There are so many elements that go into creating a video game – art, music, storytelling, coding… there’s something for everyone! In this virtual workshop, you will work together as a team of girls and women to create a video game that represents your voices and interests.
This workshop is part of our Maker Girls initiative, a series of workshops and other events designed to inspire, engage and empower girls with an early interest in STEM-inspired projects. Our Maker Girls programs are open to all kids, regardless of gender identity.
