As female technology integration specialists, we've noticed a lack of women in the technology field. Our session will focus on catering technology to young ladies. We will discuss and demonstrate various technologies, including coding (Codesters, Make Code, Code Spark), drones, spheros, quiver fashion (augmented reality), merge cube and video games.

Audience:	Curriculum/district specialists, Teachers, Technology coordinators/facilitators
Skill level:	Beginner
Attendee devices:	Devices useful
Attendee device specification:	Smartphone: Windows, Android, iOS Laptop: Chromebook, Mac, PC Tablet: Android, iOS, Windows
Topic:	Computer science & computational thinking
Grade level:	PK-12
Subject area:	STEM/STEAM, Computer science
ISTE Standards:	For Coaches: Visionary Leadership Contribute to the development, communication and implementation of a shared vision for the comprehensive use of technology to support a digital age education for all students.

Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

The purpose of our presentation is to introduce attendees to ways to encourage young ladies to become more involved in the field of computer science.

Objective:
1. To inform participants about our female coding club, how to start one, and the curriculum we have created.

2. To introduce participants to several coding programs: codesters, make code, and code spark

3. To introduce participants to quiver fashion (augmented reality). With quiver fashion, students can print coloring pages and use the app to create fashion shows with virtual reality and 3-D models. The creation literally rises from the page and looks real in the application.

4. Participants will be introduced to parrot mambo drones and their uses to engage female participants.

5. Participants will be introduced to merge cube (holograms) and video games.

We will have models of all the items present at the session.
