About the event

📣 Calling all BOLD Girls & Allies in grades 7-12 who want to learn how technology can be used to uplift the history of impactful women! 


Join Be Bold Girls for an exciting, hands-on adventure into the world of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our speakers will share inspiring stories of how to use technology to bring history to life, support small businesses, and create powerful experiences. You’ll get to explore virtual worlds and virtually engage with the stories of women trailblazers, visionaries, and innovators from different cultures and backgrounds. Then, you’ll team up with other girls to design your own dream world using VR tools, where you can show off your creativity and big ideas. By the end of the day, you’ll feel empowered to use technology to make a difference and share your own bold stories with the world!
