                     BUILTBYYOU Challenge
In this post on our website of WiTech, we introduce some details about the BUILTBYYOU Challenge and why teens from around the world should join it!
BUILTBYYOU is an initiative that aims to encourage and expose more high school girls to careers in technology.
Read the write-up below from the BUILTBYYOU team to learn more about the challenge!
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for the next generation of 13-18 years old female startup founders and chang
e-makers (you) who are building a mobile app, hardware device, robotics project, game, or something no one has invented yet. You can submit in up to teams of 4. Feel free to apply with your projects from your previous tech experiences or build out an entirely new idea.
What You Could Win
You could win the opportunity to present your project in front of expert teenager judges, tech/VC moguls(大人物) and change makers during a live Presentation Day in San Francisco on September 1. Winners receive S10,000 in funding, mentorship and a booth at TechCrunch Disrupt to take their project to the next level.
The Founder of WiTehch
Audrey Pe is an incoming high school junior from the Philippines. Because current Philippine curriculum is lacking in computer science education, Audrey taught herself to program using available online resources. As she pursued her interest in a technology career, she found very little support and no female role models within the industry. While att
ending tech conferences Audrey met other girls with similar interests for the first time. At 15 she gathered a team of students and founded Women in Technology (WiTech). WiTech is a community organization that educates, inspires and empowers young girls to break barriers and use technology to make positive differences in society.

“To repair ancient books, we have a lot to do,” says Song Jing, 34, who has been working in the restoration division for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing for eight years. Before starting a restoration project, Song and her colleagues have to evaluate the subject to consider what problems can be solved through restoration and those that cannot. Fearing the chemicals in commercially produced pastes (胶水) might harm the books, they have to make the glues they need by themselves, starting from removing starch(淀粉) from flour.
“The restoration also requires high levels of control in brushing the paper. If the pressure is not properly controlled during the brushing process, the paper may tear, but if the touch is too light, the paper won’t stick,” Song explains.
Song was determined to join the field from an early age. As a child, she was attracted by documentaries about the world’s cultural relics (遗物) and became deeply interested in the art of artifact restoration.
In senior middle school, those earlier experiences helped her to set her sights on becoming
a master restorer of ancient books.
There were not many schools offering cultural-relic restoration courses back then, and her dream destination, Peking University, only offered openings every other year.
As Song looked into undergraduate curricula (本科课程) arrangement for that particular field of study, she found it was mostly related to chemistry. Therefore, she chose to start a chemistry degree at Fudan University in Shanghai in 2008. In her spare time, she continued to read up on cultural relics and study how museums operate.
“I got to learn how certain aspects of chemistry are going a long way in restoring cultural relics,” she says.
After graduating from Fudan, she was accepted as a master’s candidate to the cultural heritage preservation program at Peking University. From then on, she has been on a mission to make her dreams a reality.
4．What will ruin a restoration work?
A．Brushing the paper.    B．Man-made glue.
C．Removing starch.    D．Incorrect assessment.
5．Which of the following best describes Song’s job?
A．Demanding and Boring.    B．Complex and challenging.
C．Complicated and Dangerous.    D．Entertaining and profitable.
6．Why did Song study chemistry at Fudan University in 2008?
A．She didn’t reach the requirement of Peking University.
B．Only Fudan University offered her favorite course.
C．She wanted to be better prepared for her dream occupation.
