The mission of
geekgirl is "To educate and empower every girl and woman
at every age level, on every skill level, at every income
level on computer technology with fun and provide a legacy by
giving back and paying it forward."
Founder Leslie Fishlock wanted to have the opportunity to have
a space where women could be a part of the dynamic and
changing technological environment, in a comfortable and
approachable manner. "We wanted something for the "average
wannabe geek girl". In an environment where no one ever has to
feel silly about asking the wrong question and getting laughed
at by some 19 year old pimply know it-all World of Warcraft
cretin. With braces. And a Marilyn Manson tshirt."
In a world where technology is not only becoming a main
vehicle in every realm, it is constantly changing and can
become daunting to chase those adjustments. What geekgirl does
for the average girl, aspiring geek, or proclaimed geek girl
is to act as a resource to search for, ask questions of tools
of technology to better arm these girls for day-to-day tasks,
as well as professional development.
Camps, seminars, and social gatherings are another aspect that
highlights the mission of geekgirl.
