The Remote Girls Tinker Academy is a two-week program designed to engage and inspire middle school students through Maker principles to encourage the exploration and development of technical, mathematical, and artistic abilities. For Summer 2020, thirty middle school students from across Sonoma County have been selected by CTEF/CWISE to participate in this hands-on program to be taught remotely by SSU professor and student assistants. They will participate in a variety of activities including coding, modeling, crafting, sewing, and building. The requested funds will be used to staff and deliver the two-week academy.
