TEKLA is an extraordinary event dedicated to inspiring girls to explore the world of technology on their own terms, fostering an environment where all roles are accessible and attainable. We were deeply honored to host this empowering festival once again, welcoming young girls from Oysterbay Secondary School to embark on an exciting tech journey. In this enriching experience, a total of 20 enthusiastic girls, accompanied by two dedicated teachers, had the opportunity to dive into hands-on projects. They delved into activities such as heat pressing t-shirts and crafting DIY wire maze handheld lights, showcasing their creativity and technical prowess. TEKLA is a testament to our commitment to nurturing the next generation of female technologists, ensuring that all doors are open for them to explore and excel in the world of technology.
