On Wednesday, I did my annual mentoring with
Girls @ Virtual Ventures, the all-female section of the popular
science and engineering camp held at Carleton. As usual, the girls made a wonderful audience as I told them what computer science was, had them discuss why there aren't more women in CS (and why it mattered; things got intense!), and ran the
CS Unplugged searching activity.
This photo was
posted on the Virtual Ventures Twitter account. I like it; it looks like I'm dancing with graphs. :)
In other news, my post about how improving CS education improves it for everyone was
featured on the blog of the Ontario NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering. Stay tuned for an original, more personal post to appear there later this month.
