HAILEY HACKS WEB SERIES MAKES TECH COOL & FUN FOR TWEEN GIRLS

Using step-by-step educational videos, the series makes technology entertaining for girls at an age when they’re starting to see math and science as frustrating or irrelevant.
Studies show girls are falling behind in tech and it only gets worse as they get older: Only eleven per cent of students enrolled in computer science and engineering at the post-secondary level are female. Many girls are opting out of science and math at Ninth Grade and Hailey Hacks is aimed at tweens, getting them into technology before they bail out.
Cheerful, bubbly Hailey offers them a different perspective by making tech useful.
Other videos in the Hailey Hacks series show girls how to navigate the online world to get schoolwork done in exciting, new ways, to enhance their social lives and to have fun.
