TECHIE CAMPERS ROCK!

124 Cartwright School District #83 students attended our summer sessions

June was a busy month for AZ StRUT out in our community teaching 7th grade students who missed our hands-on Techie camp because of COVID. We went to six different Cartwright schools with computers to disassemble and reassemble. All students left with their own refurbished laptop computer to take home. They are all part of our AZ StRUT mission now.

"This is for me to KEEP?! Thank you!"

"WOW! My brother is going to be so jealous!"

"Thank you! My family doesn't have a computer at home."

Special thanks to:

Katherine Hoornstra,

Assistant Director of STEM Education and College and Career Readiness at CSD #83

for coordinating and promoting Techie Camps.

Thank you YWCA and Intel for your support

AZ StRUT Techie Women Power UP!

14 women learned about computer hardware, installing operating systems, and refurbishing computers in our two classes focused on IT Fundamentals. Each learner earned a refurbished computer at the end of the 12-hour class. Special thanks to Fresh Start Women's Foundation and A New Leaf for partnering with us to offer these classes.

Women are only 25% of the Arizona technology workforce.

AZ StRUT is increasing this percentage.

WELCOME TO OUR TEAM, Camilla
