Maps help us understand the visual picture of the world. But has the entire world been mapped? Satellites capture images of the earth, however scientists are still trying to find a way to convert these images into meaningful information. The best way to recognize 'features' from a satellite image is by the human eye.

In this workshop, students will learn how satellite images, collected by various agencies around the world, can be used to help global humanity. Platforms like OpenStreetMap and Tomnod offer an opportunity for volunteers, (such as the participants in Techgirlz) who are not necessarily experts in coding or interpreting this information, to contribute to critical missions. Such as recognizing roads/buildings in remote parts of Nepal and Africa or even mapping damage during Hurricane Matthew/other current natural disaster areas.

American colonists enjoyed sweet treats that included a variety of cakes, puddings, and also gelatins, made from boiled calves feet, dried fish bladders, or boiled deer horn. These dishes were both eye catching and mouthwatering luxuries that would impress guests at upper class parties and dinners. See these special treats being prepared before your eyes and learn about the intense labor process needed to produce these stunning dishes. Ask about the role of sugar, an indulgence in 18th century kitchens, while learning about other methods used to bring sweetness to desserts. Historic recipes will be available so you bring the history home!

Podcasting is a powerful way to communicate stories, news reports, and information. In order to create an effective podcast, students need to learn how to make their stories engaging and use sound to put their listeners into the aural environment of their story. They can accomplish this through music, sound effects or sounds gathered from the environment of their story.

This workshop plan familiarizes students with GarageBand software followed by creating a simple, personal podcast recording.
