Tech Savvy is a volunteer-based event with learning and teaching activities to promote female students in sciences. In collaboration with BU, Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, and several other leading research institutes, we have used one day to teach middle school girls on how to program in Computer Science at UMass Boston since 2010. In 2018 UMass Boston MakerSpace helped us with this event, providing an amazing experience with VR technology through a game. Additionally, Maker Space generously provided 3D printed souvenirs for each participant and a Trophy Cup for the winner of a CS competition. I would like to thank everyone in MakerSpace for their help during Tech Savvy 2018!
