The Women of Computer and Information Science Need You!

Now is the time to get involved with WoCIS if you have any interest in helping to bring computer science you young girls.  We have a couple of really big projects in the works and need as much help as we can get to bring them to fruition.

At today's WoCIS meeting (Wed at 2pm) we gave our projects code names.

Project HATCH:
The women of CIS will teach a small group of high school students some simple programming techniques.  We will then take those high school students to a local elementary school, where we will all teach girls from grades 3-5 how to make a mini-program.  This project takes little to no previous programming experience.  We'd like to recruit 2-3 current CIS women to help us with this project.  Planning meetings can be either Monday afternoon/evening or Tuesday morning.

Project Seedling:
The women of CIS will develop an elementary school assembly and travel to local schools to give 45min to 1 hour long presentations.  We will play, inspire, talk and teach our way through the city.  This one will require quite a bit of content and a handful of speakers so it would be nice to recruit some current women in CIS to help get this started.  Any volunteers?

We would love for you to get involved.  If you're interested in helping, whether you're male or female, please email me to be put on the list for whichever group interests you.  Together, we can spread a love for CS to girls and women.
