Girls ages 10-18 are invited to join and participate in workshops that occur simultaneously with, but separately from, the adults’ discussions. Mothers and daughters are particularly encouraged to attend.

Uyen Le Kry, Founder/Organizer of Girls Innovate!, said this second gathering will build on the first Girls Innovate! event from March of this year by continuing to focus on critical ideas and thought leadership around boosting the pipeline of women leaders and innovators, while offering many more workshop options for the girls and increased capacity for attendance. “Our first event struck a nerve, with about 100 attendees and close to 200 on the waitlist,” Kry said. “The excitement caught us by surprise and confirmed our conviction that there is intense need in the community for women to be supported, both as nurturers and as role models for their kids.”

Kry continued, “Girls and women, in particular, are still behind in the number that occupy leadership and STEM roles.

"Black Girls CODE" Earns $100,000 in Crowdfunding Support For African American, Latina, and Native American Girls to Become Programmers of Tomorrow

/in , /by

San Francisco (PRWEB) July 24, 2013

With four days to spare, a young technology nonprofit broke through their $ 100,000 crowdfunding goal on Indiegogo, thanks to a wave of major support from tech entrepreneurs and companies including: Craig Newmark of Craigslist, Mitch Kapor from The Kapor Center for Social Impact, Rackspace, TripAdvisor, and Zendesk. Other leaders who gave personal contributions to the campaign included Alexis Ohanian (Reddit, Breadpig), Robin Chase (Buzzcar, Zipcar) and Kathryn Finney (digitalundivided).

At 9:10 PM on Monday, July 22nd, the campaign was pushed over its goal by David S. Rose, Founder & CEO of Gust and one of the country’s leading angel investors.

“Gust was delighted to be able to put the ‘Summer of CODE’ campaign over the top with a significant contribution,” said Rose. “Black Girls CODE is showing the world that girls of every color have the skills to become the programmers of tomorrow.”

These leaders have collectively pledged over $ 50,000 to the campaign, joining nearly 900 giving in the range of $ 5-500.

Black Girls CODE Founder Kimberly Bryant said, “The response from both the tech industry and our grassroots supporters has been amazing. Crowdfunding is inspiring, because every gift, be it $ 5 or $ 10,000, really does make a difference when they come together for collective impact. Our campaign shows the growing support we have in the community at large for our work to diversify the tech industry by introducing girls of color to computer programming.”

The funds raised will provide student scholarships, instructor stipends, and laptops. Contributions will also seed funding for Black Girls CODE chapters in eight markets nationwide, which will provide ongoing educational opportunities.

In 2011, Kimberly Bryant founded Black Girls CODE to increase the number of women of color in the digital space. Black Girls CODE is the only program targeting African American, Latina, and Native American girls in cities nationwide with training in mobile app development, game and web design. Black Girls CODE has already served more than 1,200 girls in cities across the United States and in South Africa.

Black Girls CODE will host a crowdfunding countdown mixer at tech space Hub Oakland Friday, July 26th 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM located at 1423 Broadway Street Oakland, CA 94612. Community members and techies are highly encouraged to attend the mixer to continue rallying during the last hours of its campaign: http://bgccountdown.eventbrite.com/

FPgirl Market Insights Program: Gen Z Girls Prefer Gaming Over Lifestyle Apps and Admire Zendaya Colemans Sense of Style

/in , /by

Beverly, Massachusetts (PRWEB) April 24, 2013

FashionPlaytes, Inc. today released new data on what tween girls think about fashion, style and entertainment as part of its FPgirl Market Insights Program. The data looks at Tech Trends and Fashion Influences and delivers a unique understanding of how tween girls view the world of mobile apps, as well as how they identify their style with celebrities.

Tech Trends: In a world of mobile apps, FPgirls skew heavily to arcade-style games, preferring Temple Run and Subway Surfers over other games, and even other app types. 56% of the over 2,600 voters selected these apps above others such as Instagram, Pandora, Angry Birds and Kik. Although 1 in 5 of the girls selected Instagram as their favorite app, and commented on their love for texting via Kik, the results show an overall high interest in gaming-related apps instead of the lifestyle/ entertainment category.

“We have been exploring how tween girls find and use apps through a series of surveys and polls,” said Andy Komack, FPgirl Market Insights program director. “When we ask girls in an open forum to volunteer apps that they love, they lean heavily to games. When they vote on top apps, the same pattern emerges,” adds Komack. “We are currently working with our community of girls to understand how they find and use apps in the world of fashion. The information we have gathered so far is fascinating, and points to interesting ways that they perceive apps.”

Fashion Influences: FashionPlaytes also gave a sneak peek at their celebrity series of data in the Market Insights program, where Zendaya Coleman was a clear winner in terms of providing fashion inspiration for girls.

“As you might imagine, tween girls rapidly evolve their tastes and preferences,” says Komack. “In an earlier poll, girls clearly stated that they derive fashion inspiration from themselves, instead of from celebrities. At the same time, girls do obviously follow celebrities. We have seen that our girls have moved fluidly between Taylor Swift, Victoria Justice, Lucy Hale, Zendaya Coleman and others in terms of who provides inspiration.” The data about Zendaya Coleman leading the poll is also closely aligned to an earlier poll about favorite TV channels where FPgirls heavily skewed to watching the Disney Channel, where Zendaya reigns, with 70% of their vote.

Gen Z Girls Have Something to Say to Mom This Mothers Day: I Love Shopping With You, But Let Me Choose My Outfits!

/in , /by

Beverly, Massachusetts (PRWEB) May 09, 2013

FashionPlaytes, Inc. today released new data about how tween girls see their relationships with their moms based on the most recent FPgirl Market Insights Program surveys. According to the results, tween girls love to spend time with their moms – especially if the activity involves shopping – but they are looking to establish a stronger voice about what they buy and the clothing they wear.

When it comes to bonding with mom, nothing beats shopping, Gen Z girls say. With over 3,000 total responses, “shopping til they drop” was their number one activity with 52% of the vote, followed by cooking/baking, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities, respectively (poll results). While the consensus shows a strong preference for shopping over the other activities with mom, numerous girls commented that they love doing all things with their mom because they’re fun to be around.

Of course, there are some comments like this one: “I love shopping with my mom, but sometimes it is a disaster. But shopping with my dad is a nightmare!!!” Reading books, playing board games and trips to the spa were also some of the favorite activities Gen Z girls commented about.

How do Gen Z tween girls think moms feels about their clothing choices? When asked if their moms typically approved, 43% of the 3,600+ respondents say yes, but admit sometimes there is a clash (poll results). 25% responded that their mothers rarely approve of the choices, while 24% are the complete opposite, saying they always get her approval. Less than 10% indicated that their mom never approves of their selections.

Open-ended comments from the girls make it clear that there are multiple influences at work when it comes to their fashion choices: “My mom won’t let me wear anything I like. But my nana, on the other hand, has style like me. Bright, loud and poppy!” A previous FP Market Insights poll corroborates the claim that girls are their own influence, and that moms and other family members don’t have as much sway on their fashion choices.

“Gen Z girls are secure in their fashion choices. They love to shop with their moms, but still have the confidence to make their own decisions without completely relying on outside influence,” said Dana Stanley, Vice President of Research for FashionPlaytes. “Some of the responses showed girls even ask their mom for fashion tips—a major step toward becoming confident and independent while strengthening a key relationship.”
