Get news on our official opening day, #firstgirlsintech workshops, and more.
dev46 Girls Tech Academy is an official P.R. 1101.1 and U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization bringing equality and equity to our community through IT education and workforce development.
Nutrition is one of the most important programs we teach at dev46. We believe teaching the science of food will allow the girls to understand how their bodies may interact to certain types of foods - in particular, hyper-palatable foods (high fat and sugar, i.e. cupcakes, chips) that can have negative effects on emotions. We want each of our students armed with the knowledge in how healthy eating fuels our guts and minds, fueling success.

Eating a variety of foods is not only enjoyable, but also important for a healthy balanced diet. Different foods have different nutrients, which are essential for keeping our bodies healthy. Macronutrients like carbohydrates, protein, and fat are important, as well as micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. And we know water is essential!
