High School Girls Use PicoCrickets to Learn Programming Skills

This 2-page case study, provided by the National Institute for Women in Trades, Technology and Science, discusses the program coordinator at Techbridge and her efforts to teach fourteen high school girls engineering and computer science principles. These students studied circuitry, bridge building, soldering, toy design, and green design. Among the resources used to teach the girls were PicoCricket Kits, which mixes robotics and programming with creativity in design.
