Students can’t be what they can’t see – they need experiences and mentors to open their eyes to the world of opportunities before them.
Meet Markie Wagner, a self-described self-taught computer science lover who by the age of 9 was creating websites and apps that got over 25,000 downloads from around the globe. Despite all this, she never thought a career in computer science or engineering was a possibility. Learn how a high school summer camp transformed her career path and created a deep desire to create opportunities for other students. Wagner started by brining computer science and engineering classes to her high school and then her district, and as a college student, she continues to fight gender inequality and work to inspire other students.
