1. What is Girl Geeks World Wide?

This is it. Girl Geeks around the globe wish for you to feel very honored and lucky. You have been chosen to participate in an on-going exploration of a very important uprising. This is a challenge and a promise. Your input will catapult with certainty stories to last a lifetime.

Girl Geeks World Wide is a web-based project designed to help create a screenplay consisting of a posse of "Girl Geek" characters. What are Girl Geeks? They are we, ladies. Girl Geeks are the heroes. I know that, personally, I would have next to nothing without them. I am looking to tell the truth about Girl Geeks, from a Girl Geek point of view. I am not looking to rescue the Girl Geek from her Geekiness, or to find a way for her to belong, or to get her to the prom. I am looking to tell a story of the sweet truth of what it is to be a Girl Geek. I will use the words "Girl Geek" a lot. A whole lot. "Girl Geek" has a number of definitions- that's where you come in. The plot of this screenplay is a very structured, somewhat mechanical animal that will grow its limbs and staircases as we move along with it. At the start, we are focusing on character.

To get rolling, I am going to give you sentences of what it is to be a Girl Geek, from Girl Geeks across the globe and from other universes. Your challenge is to give me your own sentences of what it is to be a Geeky Girl. Your input will not only help with character development for a very important screenplay, but also feed your Girl Geek with the food she wants.

There are no rules.

There are all sorts of Girl Geeks. Not all Geeky Girl statements will apply to every Girl, but every Geeky Girl will have a statement. That's part of what makes us Girls that are Geeks. If this is totally confusing you, that's okay. Read on and see if it stirs anything within you.
