What is "Girls Who Game" (GWG)?

Girls Who Game (GWG) is a program developed through a partnership between Microsoft and Dell Technologies to encourage girls to become interested in STEM. Girls Who Game teaches female students about coding and computational thinking using Minecraft: Education Edition.

The mission of GWG is to engage young girls in grades four to eight through learner-driven experiences and mentorship opportunities. By building a community of learners, Girls Who Game wants to help girls build relationships and encourage them to continue to develop their technology, coding, and leadership skills.

Girls Who Game End-of-Year Field Trip and Celebration

Girls Who Game teams from schools #31, #33, #37, #43, #76, #79, and #89 gathered at Buffalo State University for an engaging and memorable end-of-year field trip and celebration.

Throughout the day, students rotated through three exciting STEM activities. At the Whitworth Ferguson Planetarium, they explored the impact of light pollution on the environment and the night sky, sparking thoughtful conversations about sustainability and the role of technology in solving global challenges.

At another station, students engaged in a hands-on microscopy activity, using microscopes to identify various objects and discuss their scientific relevance. They also participated in groundwater sampling, testing calcium and pH levels in water samples and discovering how these measurements can affect water quality.

The field trip culminated in a celebratory lunch and an awards ceremony honoring this year's Girls Who Game accomplishments.
