Project IT Girl

Project IT Girl is a Girlstart after-school program in Austin, Texas. The program consists of 45 high school girls (16 - 17 years old) who are learning how to use technology to make a difference in the world. The focus of the program in the 2007 - 2008 school year is educational games for One Laptop Per Child. During the Fall 2007 semester, IT Girls learn basic programming concepts, Python, and Pygame. Over 90% of the girls have no programming experience before this semester. Throughout the semester, the girls worked on a game based on litter prevention to practice using Python and Pygame (download the sample code). Each girl also designed a unique educational game (see the current game designs).

During the Spring 2008 semester, IT Girls are implementing their game designs using Python, Pygame, and the [Game_templates game templates]. At the end of the semester, the games will be made available to the OLPC community.

Watch their progress!
