About GIRLsmarts4tech

GIRLsmarts4tech is a volunteer organization that seeks to encourage more girls to become interested in computer science.

In a team, I planned and facilitated the first cybersecurity workshop for girls in Grade 6 - 7. We introduced the girls to cryptography topics, particularly symmetric key encryption and public-key cryptography, using easy to understand and fun, interactive activities.

Workshop Host, Computer Science

May 2017

As a senior Bachelor of Computer Science student, I volunteered to envision, plan, and run a one-day crash course on Data Structures & Algorithms by myself for junior students in the program. The goal of the crash course was to give the audience the fundamental theoretical knowledge in Data Structures & Algorithms needed for programming/technical interviews.

I presented solo in two one-day workshop sessions, to an audience of roughly 70 attendees total.
