Chapter Thirty-seven: We talk with Fang Yi, educational technologist and Izzy McReynolds, student leader about the Women’s Maker Program at UVA

What is the Women’s Maker Program at UVA? We spoke to Fang Yi, Educational Technologist at the UVA Library, and student leader Izzy McReynolds about the work they’re doing to create a haven for makers, tinkerers, and tech explorers. We also get a behind-the-scenes peek at the Girls Maker Camp and how they hope this experience will help educate middle school girls about gender equality issues in STEM, increase their interest and confidence in learning STEM, and bridge their experience gap in makerspace technologies that are widely used in STEM subjects.
