To kick off Philly Tech Week, the Women of The Dream, a mentoring organization for young girls in Camden, NJ hosted its annual STEM conference at Drexel University in Philadelphia.

Yanlexis and Chasity were excited to help the girls learn tech skills and emphasized that with their workshop, the participants were not only learning about web design, but creating their personal brand and resume building skills!
