The 2020 Girls Tech Bootcamp kicked off TODAY! 60 high school girl students from across Taiwan embarked on a three-day program at National Dong Hwa University. The campers will learn STEM English, Minecraft programming, Artificial Intelligence and women’s leadership. In his opening remarks, AIT Director Brent Christensen mentioned “shared values form the foundation of the U.S.-Taiwan partnership. Among those shared values are our dedication to academic freedom and the belief that persons of all genders should have equal access to professional and educational opportunities. Additionally, the United States and Taiwan believe that our democratic values are best served by informed and robust civic participation. We hope that this program will advance these shared values.”
On the first day, in addition to STEM English and coding classes, three encouraging mentors -- Dr. Shiu, Wen-wei, the Director of the Digital Opportunity Center in Yilan and Hualien, Ms. Alice Chang, Founder of MamiLove and My83, and Ms. Sayun Chang, a Musician -- explained to the campers their backgrounds, careers, and passions. We also want to thank Mr. Michael Chang, Directror-General of Microsoft AI R&D Center for giving an overview of new trends in AI. Stay tuned for more from the camp! #GirlsTechBootcamp #AIT程式少女特訓營 #AI
