"Volunteering with LEGIT these last few years has been some of the most rewarding work I’ve done. It’s truly inspiring seeing the direct impact we have on young girls, sparking their interest in STEM, encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones, and above all, reinforcing that they belong here. We’ve come a long way, but we’re far from being done, and I’m excited for the years to come!”  - LEGIT Lead

Tech Camps

Leading tech-focused activities and lessons for middle and high school students at local universities. We help with directing students, encouraging collaboration and experimentation, and showing students the fun that can be had in STEM.

Code Clubs

Our Girl Power Code Club encourages young girls to explore technology and have fun doing it! Our goal is to create a space for girls to grow their knowledge and love for tech, together. We hope it will spark each girl’s interest and motivate them to continue to pursue technology with the support of each other and all future Girl Power club members.

Hour of Code

A global event taking place the first week of December every year, LEGIT coordinates ‘Hour of Code’ events both in person and virtually around the country to spark girls’ interest in computer programming and inspire girls to learn the basics of coding.

Afterschool Programs

Girl Scout badges, hackathons, robotics clubs, and more! LEGIT volunteers work with local schools, troops, programs, and parents to host events for girls to encourage tech exploration and learn more about the many facets of technology.

Storytimes

Initially started as a way to engage virtually with girls in the community over the pandemic, our storytimes have grown to in person classroom visits. These events are a big hit with our younger audiences, providing opportunities for industry professionals to volunteer with us reading STEM-focused children's books and lead classrooms through related activities.
