DSU’s CybHER donates robots to Girl Scouts STEM Mobile Center

More than sixty area Girls Scouts gathered on the campus of Dakota State University in Madison recently for Cybersecurity Badge Day.

Girl Scouts-Dakota Horizons and the DSU organization CybHER worked together to sponsor the day, which included a variety of cyber sleuthing activities that fulfilled the requirements for the girls’ cybersecurity badges.  The partnership also included a donation.

CybHER donated five Wonder Workshop Dash robots for the Girl Scouts’ new STEM Mobile Center.  This is a new traveling resource that can provide Girl Scouts with hands-on STEM activities, to introduce girls to STEM areas such as robotics, engineering, or cybersecurity.  This is also the mission for CybHER, to introduce more girls to cybersecurity, in the hope that these girls will then become women in collegiate programs, and finally highly trained professionals in the field.
