Big things at this year's Consumer Electronics Show: virtual reality, wearables galore, and the Girl Scouts!
The place to be on the convention floor has definitely been the Girls STEM HQ, where attendees are learning about not only Digital Cookie, but how girls are going to lead the future of science, technology, engineering, and math.
Naturally, the Girls STEM HQ is girl-led, with Girl Scouts giving demos of Digital Cookie to the crowd—and taking orders, of course! Girl Scout correspondents also interviewed top tech influencers and engineers at CES (follow this blog to see those interviews), getting first-hand knowledge on what it takes to make it in the business. Attendees have been joining the conversation on why we need to support girls looking to enter STEM careers through the hashtag #genSTEMgirls.
Our girls didn’t hold back on the questions when interviewing influential tech veterans. Check out the first interviews below!
Lance Shields, CEO of iiD, tells us about user friendly design and prototyping.
Melissa Hirsch, an editor at Innovation & Tech Today magazine and a Girl Scout alum, tells us what her job is like.
Jim Lichtenstein, Executive Producer of Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, talks about how his TV show discovers the latest inventions.
