About Tech D. I. Y.
Tech D.I.Y. encourages women and kids to learn about technology in ways that are simple and fun. The kits teach DIY craft and have solid engineering lessons and design creativity behind them.
Today more than ever, the importance of technology is increasing rapidly and related job opportunities are growing in electrical engineering, computer science and other related fields. Despite this trend, the female employment in these fields is still low. Creating interest in D.I.Y. technology for women and their children can help increase the number of females in all technology-based fields. The D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) technologies project for women and kids, Tech DIY, involves a holistic process of mothers and kids learning electronics together, boosting design creativity, and sharing this with others.
