“Early in the pandemic, recognizing the extra educational and social needs that girls would have during stay-at-home orders, Director of TechGirlz (techgirlz.org), Amy Cliett, led her team to transfer all of their in-person workshops and camps to a virtual format in just 4 days. She, and the team, worked hard to find a way to ensure that no girls missed the opportunity to keep learning about tech and connecting with other girls interested in tech. As a result of these quick changes, TechGirlz has been able to schedule 75 virtual workshops, four week-long virtual camps, and convert over 50 of the TechGirlz workshop topics to be held virtually. This venture would have been much more difficult without Amy’s guidance, coordination, and insights. During all the upheaval to make this rapid change, Amy has been a steadying force for her team and the entire TechGirlz community with an open mind, always having an open virtual door policy, being a shoulder for her team to lean on and an example for the girls and parents in the TechGirlz community. All while still managing, caring for, and homeschooling her own children.”
