10 weeks Free Global Workshop
FlowTech4Girls© is a social and technology innovation program designed by Love Your Menses, Inc. to introduce *Black and Brown girls* ages 11-16 to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities, menstrual health education, civic engagement and mentorship.
Each participant will have the opportunity to learn about the physiology of the menstrual cycle, public health, and period sustainability and the environment. They will also design, film and publish a public service announcement video for young girls to become more aware of a menstrual health issue,
and gain youth community organizing and leadership skills. They will also receive mentorship and collaboration from Black and Brown female professionals in technology, engineering, medicine, public health, and community organizing.
Cultural stigmas and lack of menstrual education can cause fear and shame globally for girls beginning their menstrual journey at menarche-occurrence of the first period. FlowTech4Girls participants will destigmatize menstrual health by creating a youth-focused PSA video to educate, inform, support, and empower *Black and Brown girls* throughout their adolescent menstrual journey.
*Open to all races, ethnicities, and gender identities*
