Smith started coding two years ago at Girls Who Code's Summer Immersion Program, and has since participated in hackathons and worked on her own projects to learn more. When time came for an upcoming home school senior prom, Smith decided to modify a dress she got for free from a community organization called Cinderella's Closet.
Smith used Adafruit's Flora--a wearable electronics platform--and combined it with six NeoPixels, which are tiny LEDs that work with Flora.

The project took Smith just a few days to make. She's now starting her own club and doing a workshop to teach other girls how use 3D printers. Smith encourages all girls who are interested in science or engineering to pursue it.
“If you're thinking of going into computer science, don’t back out because the guys are intimidating, just keep going,” she said. “It’s an amazing journey to go through.”
