This event was for middle and high school girls who are interested in STEM. For this event, I created a basic Alexa skill, with a small presentation on how skills are put together, and how lambda functions and the Amazon developer portal work together to bring skills to life. After explaining the basics, I led the girls in a hands-on demonstration, allowing them to modify the code, then upload and hear their changes.
