CodeHERS hosted an HTML Website building workshop in which students were gently introduced to programming, learning how to build a website from scratch and understanding basic HTML syntax. With the use of notepad++ we were able to all create our own websites, ranging from a personal website to a blog.

In this Raspberry Pi Workshop, students were introduced to what a Raspberry Pi is and how it functions. By discussing and playing with some we got to know it better. Students were able to understand how useful it is in engineering and that it's actually the most basic computer.

Women in Engineering Panel
Moderator:
Panelists:
Hanna Mofid
Jasmine Bayrooti
Mayee Chen
CodeHERS hosted it's very own Women in Engineering Panel through Zoom, in which Stanford engineering students (varying from undergraduate to PhD) and women engineers with experience at top tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft were panelists. This virtual event was open to all, and attendees included Kode With Klossy Scholars, CodeHERS Members, and students in the community. This event was publicized through Kode With Klossy and the Society of Women Engineers of the University of Rochester and Stanford. Panelists were able to share advice on being a woman engineer, what inspired them to become engineers, what it's like working in a big tech company or startup, and overall knowledge they have gathered through working in tech industry and attending University for engineering. In addition, the attendees participated in a Q & A session at the end and asked panelists candid questions about CS, University, and tips on how to thrive as a woman in STEM.

Java Programming 101 Workshop
In our CodeHERS Java 101 Workshop, students learned Java Programming basics, which included being familiarized with the types of variables (primitive vs. reference) along with methods to define them, the syntax and logic of loops (both while and for loops), and practiced implementing a basic calculator code in order to implement these new concepts! This workshop equipped students with key foundational programming knowledge, which is necessary regardless of the programming language being used. With a strong base, students will be able to have an easier time making connections when it comes to abstract data structures and more advanced algorithms.

CodeHERS co-hosted an Exploring Engineering Panel with the Stanford University Graduate Society of Women Engineers!! The panel featured Stanford Graduate Society of Women Engineers members who are currently majoring in various branches of engineering, including biomedical, mechanical, and electrical engineers along with computer science. Our panelists discussed their experiences studying engineering in University, how they have navigated being women in engineering and taking on the gender gap in STEM, offered advice and tips on thriving as an engineer, and shared the organizations/projects that allowed them to secure jobs at top tech companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, along with new startups. We are so happy that we were able to provide valuable advice and answer all your amazing questions!! A big thank you to Stanford GradSWE for cohosting this panel with us and sharing your knowledge🌟 Our event was able to reach so many students across the county and country, ranging from grades 7 to University level! Shoutout to all the Kode with Klossy members, CDM students, Chapman University students, and Lynbrook HS students who attended!!
Here is the full Video Recording of our Exploring Engineering Panel with the Stanford Graduate Society of Women Engineers:
The beginning of our Panel event is not shown in the video recording, as well as a few introductory and ending questions.

CodeHERS and the UCLA Society of Women Engineers hosted a virtual Exploring Engineering Panel! The event was open to ALL students, including high school, middle school, and University students. The panel featured UCLA Society of Women Engineers members who are currently majoring in various branches of engineering, including mechanical, civil, aerospace, environmental, and computer science. Our panelists discussed their experiences studying engineering at UCLA, shared advice on handling the gender gap in STEM and getting your voice heard as a female engineer, shared how to be successful and stay motivated in the difficult field of engineering, and shared the organizations/projects that allowed them to secure internships and do research in areas like Machine Learning, sustainability, and material synthesis with UCLA Creative Labs, UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge, and even the NYU Dept. of Chemistry.
We had such an amazing turn out and reached students from across the community! CodeHERS loved working with the UCLA Society of Women Engineers, and would like to give a BIG thank you to them for co-hosting this amazing event!! We are so excited that we were able to answer so many of the audience’s questions about UCLA and engineering in general, and that our attendees were able to gain valuable knowledge from our Panel event!
