Testimonials

GAN gave me a scholarship to attend the Smith Summer Science and Engineering Program (SSEP) and I’ve returned from Massachusetts. Thank you. It was really fun over there. I made friends with many people; especially with one girl, she’s from Uganda. I think that’s cool. So once again, thank you for providing me with the scholarship and the gift card for SSEP.

GAN gave me a scholarship to attend the Game Programming Workshop sponsored by DigiPen Institute of Technology and St. Philip’s Academy in Newark, New Jersey. I really learned a lot and got exposure to a whole new area. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

“I learned a multitude of things at this program- on the coding side I learned how big data is used, what big data is, how anaconda works, what the future of ai/technology on a whole means for humans, and more about how python works.”

“The people I met at Smith would be my favorite takeaway I would say. I was able to meet young women from across the globe, all with their own stories and experiences. I grew so much in myself too, gained independence and confidence in my own abilities.”

“I stopped and thought about my mother trying to get the money for me to go to the science camp at Wesleyan College. She made a lot of phone calls and tried come up with half of the money, [but] Girls Action Network came all the way through. GAN all the way!”

“I realized how fortunate I am and how much I take for granted. I went home with a feeling of accomplishment and gratitude [to] all those who gave. Thank you to the Episcopalian Church and to GAN for giving me the opportunity to serve others. I enjoyed the GAN Giving Back Service Day project and that experience has made me eager to volunteer again.”

SHATTERING STEREOTYPES & UNLOCKING OPPORTUNITIES ®

With only 16% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) being women and continued predictions of shortages in the cybersecurity workforce, GAN challenges us all with a Call to Action that we must invest in our early talent to create the workforce pipelines for these technical occupations in the 3S workforce.
