Inspiring the Next Generation: Teaching TechGirlz

David and Sarah Patrick will discuss their adventures in teaching young ladies a variety of computer related technologies. Through a program called TechGirlz, David and Sarah have been running workshops designed to inspire the next generation of young women to get and stay interested in STEM, to help bridge the gender gap that exists in these fields today. During the talk, David and Sarah will show off how they were able to incorporate into the TechGirlz workshops the latest Microsoft technologies like Office 365, Kodu, Visual Studio Code, Power Apps and Microsoft Teams, so that the ladies would not only be learning technology, but gaining current, relevant, and valuable skills.

Sarah the Explorer: Navigating and Customizing the SharePoint Interface

As the SharePoint Intern for Smithsonian Institution’s Office of the Chief Information Officer, I created an interactive organization chart in SharePoint so users can find information on all the Smithsonian units in one place. I will go in depth on how I used SharePoint web parts, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript to create an image map with modals to display each unit’s information and the obstacles I faced with the customizations.

We will do a brief intro of what each technology is and its pros and cons, and then dive into what I learned about each, their strengths and weaknesses, and how I was able to build a functional Speaker Database.
