Check out the first Wired Girls Web Page created May 2001. Girls also learn from mentors who serve as electronic mentors. We will also go on field trips to high tech businesses in Boulder County. The Voice of the Girls of Boulder County Girls ages 9-13 get the opportunity to make their very own newspaper with the help of the Boulder Daily Camera. This 12 week class teaches girls how to come up with story ideas, interview techniques, newspaper photography, ethics and more.
Girls write their own scripts, work the cameras, learn the studio, editing and much more.
Their final video airs on channel 54 and at a public screening planned by the girls. Two teens get the opportunity to become board members on the YWCA Board of Directors. This project helps develop leadership skills among the girls and gives the adult members the chance to learn about issues from a teen perspective. This event celebrates the relationships between mothers and daughters and other significant women in their lives, provides women and girls with the opportunity to hear empowering presenters speak of their experiences, and highlights the success of girls in the EDGE program.
