Hi Marie,

I'm working on my company's Women in Computing Day this year and we're

trying to double our numbers from last year (going from 20 to 40

girls!). The basic idea has been that we set up stations that girls

ranging from 8-14 will work their way through in small groups. The

stations are manned by a few Next Century employees (I'll actually be

working a station that teaches the girls basic programming using

Scratch) and some other contractors that we've reached out to. We're

looking for volunteers to help facilitate walking the girls from station

to station and making sure everything runs smoothly. I was wondering if

you could pass along the opportunity and my contact information to any

female students you might know either through classes or through the

CWIT program, we're going to be really stretched thin this year. I

believe we're reaching out to the engineering sorority on campus too via

another UMBC alumni as well.

Here's the general information:

Sunday June 8th 11am-3pm

Next Century office in Columbia

7075 Samuel Morse Dr

Any questions can be directed to me:

Thanks so much,

Stephanie Schneider
