Last month from April 13th–17th, Digital Girl Inc did a new thing! We held our very first in person international one week workshop on the beautiful island in the sun, Barbados!
This transformative workshop, sponsored in part by the Barbados Public Workers’ Co-operative Credit Union Limited, taught scholars ages 13–16 to fight cyber threats, recognize cyber scams & phishing, own their digital footprints, and level up their financial literacy. Then they took everything they learned and built their very own digital safety campaigns using HTML, CSS & JavaScript — presenting them live at their Student Cyber Showcase in front of proud family and community leaders. 🖥️✨
From learning to DOING in just 5 days. That’s the Digital Girl Inc. difference.
This was the first stop of our Codes the Diaspora initiative — bringing world-class STEM education to girls across the African diaspora, rooted in cultural pride and global possibility. 🌍🖤💛
A huge thank you to the Barbados Public Workers’ Co-operative Credit Union Limited for their vision, hospitality, and trust that we would execute the best STEM workshop that Barbados has ever seen! 🌟🙌🏾
We are already looking forward to next year in Barbados AND the next stop on the Diaspora STEM Tour! 🌍✈️🖤
