Gates invests in groups like Girls Garage through their organization Pivotal Ventures. The program Berkeley, California, is a 501 (c) 3 organization of the project designs that H Pilloton established in 2008 to expand and promotes an all-female staff. Pilloton created H Project “party and the splendor of the raw youth through rigorous, hands-on projects to design and construction in the classroom and in their communities to care” about, according to the group’s website. Pilloton whose background in architecture and construction, said centers of girls education Garage in carpentry, welding, architecture, and screen printing, even if the organization does not only teach girls how to use their hands. “Our motto in the garage girls is less fear, build more,” said long, Berkeley. “What we can be stronger together and act in spite of fear,” but recognize that no one is truly fearless, Pilloton says girls Garage teaches welding a young girl learn by observing one of the most exciting things for girls to see Garage says Pilloton – for a 10-year-old to recognize the power of their combined two pieces of metal a feeling of “super-human”. “I mean girl wants to conquer the world,” he says. “I think that at the individual level, I want every girl who walks in the door a little ‘left feeling a bit’ stronger.” Pilloton wanted a program like garage girls, now in its sixth year, because of the gender dynamics create themselves have experienced firsthand – and has seen among students at a high school taught that happens. “I did not want the younger generation to experience the same things,” he says.
