Program Description
The 3D S.M.A.R.T. Chicks program is designed to encourage more girls to become actively engaged in emerging technologies such as 3D simulation, modeling, animation, and rendering technologies (~ S.M.A.R.T.). Girls naturally tend to navigate toward the arts and humanities because they enjoy developing their creativity and imagination. The 3D S.M.A.R.T. Chicks program strives to nurture such interests, extending them into high-tech skill sets that lead to a wider array of career options for young women.
