(Video) MzTEK: Providing New Media Education for Women
Over the past couple of years, MzTek have provided electronic workshops in London aimed at demystifying science for women and providing basic education in a variety of programming and electronic information. On February 27th, they will hold one for Arduino basics at the famed media arts organization Space. The workshops are provided at a nominal cost which shows another exemplary organization willing to make knowledge free as opposed to keeping it caught up as a commodity. The below video discusses their mission and the hurdles women meet when trying to become a “tinkerer”.
