Website Worth Sharing: Girls4Tech

Even though this site is directed at getting girls into STEM, the lessons would be good for all of your students when you focus on careers in tech and cybersecurity. There are downloadable lessons on this page: https://girls4tech.discoveryed.com/classroom-resources The All Things Digital PPT has teacher directions in the notes section of the PPT and would make a fun introduction to your classes.

The bottom of the page has 5 different activities on various tech topics. This would be fun to do as a jigsaw activity- having small groups complete the activities, and then present about their activity to the rest of the class (maybe in a poster or Google Slideshow) or they could also be great lessons for subs (they are just worksheets so no tech required) or days you aren’t in the lab for some reason. The activities look engaging and cover some interesting topics.

This page covers various careers: https://girls4tech.discoveryed.com/career-profiles while women are featured, this would be good information for all students.
