My daughter attended the recent Empowerment Lab course. She had taken several 'coding for girls' classes before, but she didn't really like any of them. Her experience with Empowerment Lab was overwhelmingly positive...She learned graphic design and how to build a real website in one single weekend, and she proudly shared the website link with family and friends. What was also very interesting, especially for teenage girls, was how the lab taught that images are manipulated in media and on social media. It is easier for girls to have a positive body image when they understand that the images they see in the media every day are actually being manipulated. This lesson was well reinforced by the girls who learned to manipulate photos themselves with Photoshop.
