As Girls4Tech champions, students will experience three exciting areas in payments technology…
In Safe, students discover that fraud detection can be intuitive as much as it is based on facts. They also learn how data is kept safe and secure through the use of symmetric and asymmetric encryption – and why it’s important to keep data – especially about them – private. In Simple, they learn about t
he importance of a fast network with local intelligence in a fun, engaging activity and discover how digital convergence, Near Field Communications (NFC) and even biometrics can simplify life. In Smart, students realize that algorithms are everywhere and can help us solve problems. Here they will learn that it takes all kinds of interests and skills to pursue a career in STEM. At MasterCard, we use science, technology, engineering and math every day to make payments safe, simple and smart. By connecting our global technology to STEM standards in a fun, engaging way for students, we hope it can spark a future STEM career – maybe even one at MasterCard some day!
