Key takeaways from @DavaExplorer: Surround yourself by positive people, stay true to yourself, and don't take no for an answer. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us about your journey, space tech, and public policy! #womeninstem @MIT_alumni #inspirehermind #NASA

“My daughter... had a fabulous time. She came home asking about whether we could put together a workshop in the garage with soldering iron(s)” — parent of GWB participant #inspirehermind @smrtgrls #girlsinSTEM #makers

Photos are up from our Music Tech workshop! Girls soldered their own amp boards, built a lasercut speaker case, and programmed a synthesizer guitar. We also had female engineers from MIT and Bose come speak about their careers. https://t.co/sNfTqRAyRk

.@emmayang78 is one impressive young woman. But don’t take my word for it. Take the word of @BillGates. He thinks so too. @CBSEveningNews https://t.co/1Y8BTBcVJM

The biggest compliment a teenager can give you is thinking you're "cool". Thank you Oscar Azaret from Azaret Guitars for demonstrating the physics behind guitars! #musictech https://t.co/S74rPxZuvD

It takes a village! Meet the team of 30+ volunteers who made Girls Who Build Music Tech! https://t.co/oVvX4i38Ud Special thank you to all our guest speakers from @Bose and @MITLL, Kate Byrd for organizing, and Leslie Watkins for writing the synthesizer activity

[Girls Who Build @GirlsWhoBuild]

Thank you for being on our panel! https://t.co/ladqsPxob7

“I could see myself using the circuits again because I found that stuff cool.” Thanks to @MIT_AMITA Woz for the live soldering demo. All our participants want to do more #ElectricalEngineering. Girls worked in teams of 3 to build their own speaker amp board

[Girls Who Build @GirlsWhoBuild]

Making engineering cool and fun one curriculum at a time 💪 #musictech #steam You never know who you are inspiring.

We had so many tear down donations from @MITLL that they could fit in the back of a truck! New workshop idea- electronics dumpster diving? The girls LOVED taking things apart #GirlsInSTEM #futuremakers #STEMed

[Girls Who Build @GirlsWhoBuild]

The biggest takeaway from the music tech workshop...girls love soldering! A brief summary of the girls feedback: 😂 @MakerEdOrg @techwillsaveus

[Girls Who Build @GirlsWhoBuild]

We had a successful Music Tech workshop with girls from 25 different high schools, 40 @MITLL volunteers, and 10 guest speakers from @Bose and @MIT! Thanks to @MITOCW we will publish this course online. More pictures to come..but this was the epic tear down
