Whirlpool Foundation Empowers Girls to Explore STEM at the Annual Girls Rock IT Event
Whirlpool Foundation Pleased to Support Girls Rock IT STEM Event
Whirlpool Corporation has announced its continued support of the Michigan Council of Women in Technology Foundation (MCWT) STEM event, Girls Rock IT. During this event, girls from grades 2-8 explored the worlds of coding and app development. Elementary students learned about coding with Scratch while middle school students had the opportunity to build their own apps using MIT App Inventor. Parents and guardians were also encouraged to participate in a session on Internet Safety and Careers in Technology.
With a high demand for tech talent and women still underrepresented in the field, Whirlpool Foundation remains committed to showcasing inspiring Whirlpool Corp. IT role models and helping young girls explore potential tech careers in Michigan. As a leading kitchen and laundry appliance company dedicated to improving life at home, Whirlpool Corporation is focused on innovation to meet the changing needs of consumers through its iconic brand portfolio, which includes Whirlpool, KitchenAid, JennAir, Maytag, Amana, Brastemp, Consul, and InSinkErator.
