WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
Sharon was great about letting me know of opportunities my daughter might enjoy after she attended her first Dottie Rose event. The organization does a great job of helping their students feel comfortable while learning and having fun! The ice cream outting downtown was also a hit!
Parent
My daughter had an awesome experience at the Dottie Rose summer camp! She had an opportunity to learn about theatre at UNC Charlotte in a class taught by college professors. She also had an opportunity to learn about robotics and coding.
Parent
My experience with Dottie Rose foundation has been amazing. I get to learn new things and do a lot of things that I didn’t think I would do, but the dottie rose has really made me think about trying new things because ever since the first time I went, they have been telling me about other events and since I had so much fun the first time I agreed so I have been coming back ever since my first time with the Dottie Rose foundation.
Parent
Thank you so much! The girls had a blast and we are going to try to get them plugged into the camp this summer. Anytime I have all 3 girls sharing how fun something was and how much they learned we don’t have much feedback.
Parent
DRF has opened both of my daughter’s eyes to all the possibilities computer science and technology has to offer – all while having a blast! I am so grateful for all the camps and events DRF puts on that introduces such a fun, new world to these girls.
Parent
Both of my daughters have attended different events and both were wanting to know when the next event was taking place.
Parent
My daughter was done with coding. she felt like she had no more interest. Luckily her aunt signed her up and she was so elated. She enjoyed the classes and doing something different with her coding skills.

Our Education Manager, @ivanna_azalea, did a fantastic job writing an article titled: “Empowering Girls Through Full Stack Development”.
“In an era where technology drives innovation and shapes the future, empowering girls with skills in full stack development is not just a smart move — it’s essential. Full stack development, which involves working on both the front-end and back-end of web applications, offers a comprehensive skill set that can open doors to numerous opportunities.”
Check out how learning full stack development can benefit girls and help bridge the gender gap in tech at the article link in our bio!

We are missing out summer camps so we are throwing it back to our Lego Robotics Camp! These campers did a great job on this creation!

Our summer camps are always something special that we look forward to. It takes many hours of planning and work, but seeing these campers’ faces light up as they learn more about the STEM world is worth it. Thank you to the 101 volunteers who helped to make this possible. We had 178 campers throughout our summer camps. Our goal is for each one of our campers to have fun while also applying computer science to their everyday life. And we feel we did just that!
