Over 100 students participate in Amazon's STEM-based Girls’ Tech Day

NEW CARLISLE — Julia Trigo, project manager with Amazon’s STEM education partner Creative Hut , remembers looking around the room in college and noticing she was the only woman in many of her classes. Flash forward to Nov. 6, she led Amazon’s first Girls’ Tech Day at the Think Big Space inside New Prairie High School. She did it in the hope young girls won’t have to go through the same college experience she did. “I was a physics major and many of my classes in college I looked around, and I was the only woman in the class.

Concentrating faces, smiles and cheers of excitement could be heard around the room
